hobo sacks

 

Tomorrow we are attending the Maritime Parade in our town, and with the parade comes a lot of treasures to carry home.  So this year, instead of stuffing our pockets , I thought it would be great if each of the boys had a bag to carry their loot in.

I have been eying the Hobo Sack over at MADE for a while now, and this seemed to be the perfect opportunity to try it out.

And I am excited to report that they are AWESOME (the perfect size for little ones).  I already have plans to make several more very soon!

(The pink one is for a darling little girl who we are meeting at the parade) 

We are ready for a fun day tomorrow (with fingers crossed - praying for rain to stop). 
A big THANKS to my friend Michael for all the trifted material.

    Thanks Colleen! I did not line these sacks, but I think I might try that next time.

    Those are FANTASTIC! And, based on the next post you put up (amazing pictures, by the way), it looks like they worked out perfectly! Off to find that tutorial myself!

    Hello! I rediscovered your lovely blog yesterday when I was looking through my bookmarks to find ideas for a home-made gift for an up-coming birthday party when I came across your reusable snack and sandwich bags. I decided to make them (thanks for the inspiration!) along with one of Dana's hobo sacks for the birthday boy. As you can imagine, I just had to smile when, reading your blog, I saw that you had just made some of hobo sacks too!
