Hi Carrol, tell us about how you made this wonderful Halloween bag. I usually make my bags from scratch but I ran across a great deal on these sturdy canvas bags so I snatched them up to save myself some time. I also bought the Frida Altered Homage digital file from TakeYourPicture.Etsy.com. For the reverse side, I used a crow to tie in with the crows on Frida’s picture. Next, I bought some Halloween fabric – crows of course, and gathered up some trims. Now we’re ready to sew. Opening the top seam of the bag was simple and I pulled off the handles. We don’t want boring handles so I covered them with a strip of fabric that I’d gathered up the center. Then I made a lining for the bag – exactly the size of the purchased bag. Now comes the best part – the photos. Digital art is wonderful. It’s inexpensive and once you buy the file you can use it again and again and again! The art Lucia makes for Take Your Pictures is truly incredible! And when you print your file you’ll be impres
