Burlap bag

Sometime last year I got these huge burlap totes at Pottery Barn for real cheap.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them but knew I'd come up with something.  I remembered them yesterday and thought it might make a nice sewing bag.

But first I wanted to do something to make it a little less plain.  I thought about painting something on it using a stencil, but I've never had any luck with that so I decided to try backstitching a "d" on it.  
I already had the thread and just printed the letter on regular copy paper.  I should have made my letter bigger.  The tote is huge!

Finished!  
Its not perfect but I like it....especially since I have about $5 in the whole bag!  It may not work as a sewing bag though.  It has that burlap smell to it so I may have to find another use for it.
