In the same vein of Salvaged Bags, this is a transformation from trash into treasure. This time, a parcel bag was turned into the lining for this tote.

This is a mix between a recipe and a pattern. I will explain step by step how I made my piece, and you can replicate it using the measurements provided and materials listed, or use the tutorial as reference to make something totally different with materials you have available.

Materials I used for example in pictures.

  • 350g of super bulky yarn

  • Thin matching yarn for seams

  • Scrap yarn

  • 2-3 pairs of 8mm circular needles (at least 80cm in length)

  • 1 pair of 7mm needles

  • Stitch and row markers

  • Tapestry needle

  • Crochet hook (4-6mm)

  • Plastic bag (34.5cmx38.5cm)

  • Hole punch or awl
