Carry Me Ohio
Now we are ready for a Flea Market Road Trip! I didn't think I was going to enter the Amy Butler Sew Inspiring Contest. But then I was struck by a lightning bolt of inspiration. Here is the result....
For more pics and some explanation on materials and techniques, check out my Flickr. The bag is Amy's Weekender with handmade leather handles and ticking interior.
The title comes from the fact that Amy is based in Ohio and I am a big fan of Mark Kozelek and Sun Kil Moon. I find myself humming Carry Me Ohio from Ghosts of the Great Highway every time I see the bag.
Have a great week,
Cheryl
