10 MINUTE PROJECT.....BEMIS FLOUR BAG

I am probably the last girl on the block to have one of these mixers, but my hubby bought me one last fall for my birthday, and I love it! Orange is my favorite color, but it didn't look good with my Christmas & winter decor - NO PROBLEM!

I have been saving these bags, (NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION - NO MORE HOARDING!), so it's time to reuse them.

I just cut the bag, turned it inside out, ran a stitch on top, hemmed the bottom, done!


The back is just as fun, so it looks good from both sides.

I should have added that this is a 10 minute project after you stand at a farm auction in the pouring rain for hours, and then wash the bags three times, they were gross!

Such a cute and clever way to hide an orange (?) mixer. Of course the standing in the rain etc, that was the hard part!

very, very clever and LOVE the bag. Sometimes some of the best things come from that long wait in the rain. Good for you! Deborah
