Bag It!

Posted on February 16, 2012April 3, 2015

To begin your “feed bag”, cut off the bottom seam of your feed sack of choice.  Make sure you’re even with the lettering… stay fairly close to the seam.

Create “legs”… leaving the folded edges of your sack alone, just cut up and over, removing a rectangle from the front and back.  Hopefully, the image won’t be too distorted from this!  No slicing through heads of animals.  Yuck.
sackc
Your “legs” must overlap in the middle.  I have PLENTY of overlap… I could have backed off a bit and had my legs a little shorter (and shown more of that pretty palomino – oops)  The overlap helps with the strength of the bag, so you don’t want just a quarter of an inch, unless you’re carrying feathers or quilt batting.
Along the top edge, cut two strips about 2″ wide.  These will become your handles.
Now…
Go wash that sack out.  You might like the smell of horse cake or dog food… but the person you’re giving this to, may not!  (Then again, why are you giving it to THEM?)  Let’s just say, those crumbs will be hard on your sewing machine!
Go wash… let dry… pull out your sewing machine and come back tomorrow.

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on our working Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherds, Bravo and Indy, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
