You might remember a while ago I did a post on how to make t-shirt shopping bags. If you’re looking for a quick and easy Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanza/Saw my first Snowflake in the shape of The Fonz, you should give them a shot.
IF you’d like to step up to the plate and go above and beyond and all the rest of the things descripbed in overused cliche phrases then read on!
I have for you today what might be the most elegant, hick bag I’ve ever seen. Certainly the most elegant, hick bag I’ve ever made. All for the low, low price of $4.
Lace up your Kodiaks or Cougar Boots ladies … we’re making a Lumberjack Sack.
The hip. The elegant. The Lumberjack Sack.

Love the way you did the handle! What’s the word I’m looking for? Ah yes – simply elegant!

Now this is cool!!! Thrift store here I come. How totally Canadian is this!!! The T shirt bag was good but I kept in the back of my head that it could get better. AND you did it. LOVE IT! Thanks!!!
Kat
Are the holes still open where you cut the original sleeve off I’m sure I can figure it out but thought I would ask before I tried?
Karen
Kat – Yep, the arm holds are still there. ~ karen!
Amber
This just makes me happy.

Cuteness! Wish I knew a lumberjack to make this for….
On a side note….my Christmas would be perfect if you would do a Holiday installation of “Will they eat it?” -love those chickens!

Mary Werner
Nice project and love the sleeve and how your mind works, which is why I tune in every morning just to be amazed!

Raiding my dad’s closet for one of these shirts as he has ton’s of them. Might even be able to score one that belonged to my late grandfather. Wouldn’t that be cool to make one that still smells like his Old Spice aftershave? Oh, I can’t wait! Thanks for the inspiration!
Nancy
Gotta show this to my Guy..Cause I think guys would like this for toting groceries..Does the Fella know you cut up his shirt for this??

That wonderful wardrobe standard from high-school in the 70s! Ah, now I can be an old bag, carrying an old bag. hahaha..
I do love a good lumber-jacket shirt.
This is a great remake Karen.
ruth
hahaha! excellent!
Dawna Jones
I’m speechless! And not in a good way Karen! REALLY?

I think my husband has a really nice wool shirt that I can use! I wonder if he’ll notice when I am carrying it around my shoulder? ha! I think I want to try and sew the collar off though. Turn it under or something. Or leave it there and stick a mannequin head out of it! LOL It just looks like it needs a head there! LOL Love it Karen.
mickey
Love it!!!

Totally dig the handle, going that one step further made all the difference. Soooo cool.

Age, 13 … Cougar boots with the red tongue out of course! Hmmmm, Now that i’m single and over 40, the exact same phrase has a whole different slant to it.

LOVE that the ad directly under your final pic was for COACH handbags! So, friends, if my lumberjack bag doesn’t turn out quite as cute as Karen’s, COACH has my back…for a slightly different price tag…ahem. (And I say MY lumberjack bag as though I’m going to make this, but we all know that ACTUALLY I’m one of those crazed people that forgot to take the Christmas pledge, so we all know what I’m REALLY doing! Ha!)
Sandy
I just so enjoy you. You have such great ideas and wit. I’m still not over the Christmas lights to keep the chickens water from freezing. I bought some lights a couple of days ago. Now if we could only get out of the 70′s so I could put them to use.
Jake
I hope you’re not expecting us Popsicle folk to feel bad for you. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Just a thought; the other sleve is not used so why not make extra pockets on the back side with it.
