Great job! I don't sew much although I can do. But not sure I have the patience. However, I came here looking for a way to upcycle these bags. So thanks for sharing!

Гарна сумка. А я в якості подкладки використовувала звичайний пластиковий пакет. Теж гарно вийшла. Бувайте здорові, наснаги та миру вам!

You are amazing at sewing! I will be making one now. I have been inspired.

[@YengHandmade]

Thank you 🙏♥️😊 I'm glad it inspired you, have fun with your new upcycled coffee bag .

[@kimreynolds7710]

Starbucks should employ this person to make these bags to sell at their stores. Customers could bring in coffee bags and Starbucks gives them to her. She makes a living, less bags get thrown away and Starbucks makes money. Win win win!

Haha thank you 😘

Great video and creative! We used our burlap bag to plant a sweet potato in the joys of repurposing.

[@YengHandmade]

That's great ideas too. My garden have a few different colours bags for flowers plants too. 😊 Nice day to you and stay safe ♥️

Love this upcycled bag. We go through a lot of coffee too. What size needle did you use?? Is it better to attach lining to the coffee bag panels, as you did? Or sew the lining as a bag & attach at the top edge? I wonder if there is any way to use coffee bags for the handles? Seems quite strong. Thank you for this tutorial… had it saved for a long time, but in past year or so, been saving pretty aqua/light blue bags & now it’s time to do something with them.

[@YengHandmade]

I used regular size for cotton 11/12 is fine, the reason I sew the lining is to make it stronger not that easy to break off like usual plastic bag do. If you going to make the handle with it, you can patch those bags 1st and cut the right size you want and sew it into tube shape as a bag handle. Glad that you like my video 😊

AWESOME

[@YengHandmade]

Thank you 😊❤️🙏

[@michaeldaly3166]

Thanks Sashira. Great idea. Do you make the handles or can you buy them from somewhere? I don't know anything about sewing but maybe I can learn the basics. My wife knows how to sew but says making tote bags is just another crazy project! Kind regards Michael

[@YengHandmade]

Hi, I buy this linen bag handle from japan glocery store- Daiso. ( I'm from Malaysia) I'm not sure your country have this kind of store or not, maybe you can check out your local art & material shop? Or ebay or amazon buy online ? You can use any material you like for handle not necessary to look just like mine. I thank you for your kind words. I appreciate. Hope you both enjoy this fun handmade project together 🙏❤☺

[@sophiahecht5077]

Great video! Where did you get the handles?

[@YengHandmade]

Thanks, I get it from Daiso Malaysia.

[@claudiasignorello6725]

What kiNd of fabric used for lining?

[@Shark-nq5ug]

Does anyone know how many coffee bags needed...looks like 8 are needed.

[@MrRussian187]

SADLY IT CANT HOLD ANY WEIGHT SO YEA WASTE OF TIME AND ITS UGLY

[@YengHandmade]

NO, YOU ARE WRONG!!! IT WASN'T ABOUT PRETTY OR UGLY, IS UPCYCLED IDEAS. THIS BAG CAN HOLD MY 4 L WATER BOTTLE AND I'M STILL USING IT !!!!!

[@eileenholzleitner9088]

I love mine. Made in a Workshop by less fortunate people. Ive been carrying my groceries in it for years. Had to reinforce the handles and now it's quite worn that's why I looked up the tutorial to see how to sew one myself.

Сам ты - уродливый. Эта упаковка от кофе очень прочная. И сумка прочная получается. Автору ролика - спасибо за идею утилизации пластика!)
