Yep from the cold and dreary ton of sundsvall :o

Actually i was just testing out the pattern and i had a ikea tote laying around and i had just seen it done in another way without the lining and a different shape. Me and my flatmates used to use'm to carry laundry to and from the laundryroom in our housing project, now i use a leafcollecting basket. Iam thinking about making another one from a camoflage coloured tarp i have in my closet. Or making a bunch since it basically 4 squares(two for the outside and 2 for the lining) and trying to sell the at the studio iam appreticing at.

Yea… I should get me some to carry laundry in…. I use paper bags I don’t have anything else

Hmm but maybe I should sew something instead… locks nicer…

I went to Blacksmith School one year in kramfors not far from sundsvall

Just sew a oversized yoga-bag just make sure you ad a sturdy drawstring arrangement
and reinforce the seams so you can stomp the laundry into it and not split it. I've repaired
our IKEA foldaway laundry basket with duct-tape now since my flatmates insist on
mushing it together to be able to carry it in one hand and thereby splitting the seams
in the plastic.

Nice KY-utbildning or Folkhögskola?
