I actually made this bag back in the fall but only just got around to finally putting the handles on. I’m really excited though, because I think it’ll be heavily used this summer. I always am a big tote lover for the warm weather. Just throw everything in and go! I am also pretty stoked that we’re getting back to weather that’s warm enough to forgo tights or tall boots – yay!

    What a great look! So fun and put together & I love the tote bag. Enjoy the weekend 🙂

  2. Is it seriously that warm in Jersey? How is it colder in south TN than on the east coast? So unfair. ;)Also that bag is amazing! I would never have guessed it was homemade. Is the text a stamp or part of the original fabric?

    hah! It’s warm ENOUGH. It’s been right around 60 the last few days, and I just can’t wait any longer!It’s part of the original fabric. It was an old feed bag! We found it in an old farm house my husband’s family was left and I just couldn’t resist it!

  6. Also, did you ever post a tutorial for how you made that bag? I’ve been looking for a way to make a bag just like that!

    I haven’t! I have been planning one though – hopefully within the next week it’ll be up, so keep an eye out for it:)

    The bag is so very very chic and utilitarian at the same time, right on trend. And I googled the name( being semi-local too :))and it came up in an old death records search about a farmer who died trying to save his sheep heard from a ram?? So a bit of a tribute I guess, and a bit of history lesson too. His story lives on….Thanks so much for the post, I learned something , I look forward to the tutorial, enjoy that bag!

    Thanks Marianne! That’s very interesting. We know that G.Willis Bateman was the grandfather of the man who left the old farmhouse to my husband’s family, where we found the feedbag I used for this. I wonder if that’s what happened to him! How interesting.
