Re-purposing Ugly Tote Bags Into A Sweet New Messenger Bag
During Bike To Work Day the "energizer stations" pass out tote bags full of goodies to the cyclist who stop by. I decided to use the fabric of my bike to work day tote bag to make myself a new messenger bag. All the cream colored fabric and the strap on the bag I created (below) comes from the bike to work day totes. The tote bags had screen printing on them so I just flipped them inside out. The brown fabric and the apple are just scraps I had laying around. There is also a pocket sewn in to the side box frame. It's a pretty massive bag but I dig it. This will be perfect for riding my bike around town.
