Woven Feed Bag bags?

[eggrookie2010]

Yes I was in on that conversation and was worried about the copy right business from the maker of the feed if the bags were sold. (I have had this problem with copyright fabric) and I couldnt believe it last night I opened the new edition of Backyard Poultry and there was a couple page article on how to do this. They sure are cute.

*excuse for getting some chickens - I want several of those bags in PINK!*

I don't normally buy Layena, but I saw the pink bags and bought one just to make a bag out of it. I was planning on selling it. What kind of trouble could I get in from copyright issues? I mean, I bought the bag.

Contact the company and tell them you bought their feed for the first time because you liked their bag so much that you wanted to make a shopping bag from it. Ask for permission. Point out that the bag will be a walking advertisement and will attract a lot of attention, as it did yours. If the one who answers your letter has any brain cells at all, they will send you a fistful of coupons with their blessings on your bag-making business.

I just looked on Etsy and there are a ton of them on there!

there is a whole thread on BYC about making those bags, complete with detailed instructions

Mother Earth News and Backyard Poultry magazines had articles in their recent magazines. I have a stockpile of them so I can start making them, myself....plan on using them for groceries and also using old clothing, too.

Some thing I found that makes the sewing easier is to loosen your tention alittle. Also if you have a walking foot (used for quilting) it helps to move the bag thru your feed dogs when sewing. Hope this helps
