Description

I get these 100 lb. coffee bean sacks from a local San Francisco coffee roaster, and they make great tote bags!
The outside of the bag, and the handle coverings are the jute burlap sack.
The lining is 100% cotton, and has an inside pocket with a zipper.
Here is the super easy technique I used to do the zipper:

The handles are reinforced with 1 1/4" cotton twill tape.

The best thing about this bag is that it is made from 100% re-used or scrap materials from local businesses.
