This is the very first bag I ever made. My wife, Shari, still uses it as a back up bag and won’t think of getting rid of it because it was my very first. It was weaved where as most of my bags now are made with the straps sewn in parallel. When it got dirty, I recommended Shari throw it in the washing machine. She did so, hesitantly, and it came out great.
Other than the thread, everything I use in the bags is recycled/reused/repurposed. This includes these cool handles I got at RAFT (Resource Area for Teachers.)
“Thank you for the rad bad tad bag …. Very nicely done ..Very clever. As you can see it work good for gathering horsetail plants… Thanks again!”
Dear Dr. Tad,
Thank you so much for the bag that you specially made, I asked from you yesterday and you willingly gave it to me. I’m using it right now and I am so happy because I really like it and have been wanting for this ever since.
Thank you again for being so kind and generous to all of us here in the E.D. Your are one of a kind.
May the good Lord continue to bless you and your family always.
From,

The smaller the bag, the trickier it is to sew.
Someone asked for a bumble bee bag and here is a sample of what I came up with.
My daughter made the bag with the yellow flower and the braided strap. I copied her idea and made the one with the orange flower.
Most of my bags are simple with non-closing, oblong openings. I bought some zippers and messed around making bags that would accommodate them. As us usually the case with such endeavors, the first bag was OK and each subsequent was better.
