DIY Dior Inspired Patchwork “Lady Dior” Bag Using a Coffee Sack. To see the original go here. I like this tutorial for several reasons: burlap is really easy to work with and so cheap and I use it all the time in projects. I also love the construction of this bag using an old book for its inner structure. Tutorial from Trinkets in Bloom here. If you really want your bag to have some of the original flavor of the real deal, see the original before hand stitching your designs. *One image download.
