This is a tote but you're not going to want to put it in the closest, trust me! It's gorgeous and you'll want to use it everyday. This is another from my peace keeper series.

I made this Hauling Ass tote with a pair of reclaimed cargo shorts. I reconstructed them in combination with a pair of rayon, Capri pants. The shorts are in soft, pre-worn condition without any stains. The lining made from the capri pants shows no sign of ever being worn. I have of course, washed them a couple of times, so there isn't any worry of shrinking. The colors are so bold and bright.

6 good sized exterior pockets-all snap shut.

The fly zipper opens to reveal your lipstick pocket.

Grey, slightly chunky YKK, first quality zipper top. Securing your items is a must.

Eagle applique and some stamped decorations were part of the original cargo shorts. I have added a hand made peace sign applique. The applique is ironed AND hand sewn on, for durability.
It is made to have a little fraying over time.

Teal blue, metal, exterior key ring on the back of the bag.

Two 26 1/2 inch reclaimed cotton twill shoulder straps,Securely attached.

Two interior slip pockets - approximately 10" wide and 5" deep each.

fFll length tote scarf - got to have eye candy.

And a matching accessory pouch included - 5 1/2 inches square. fully lined with matching rain forest rayon. Made with a couple of designers' samples. Striped on one side and deep forest green on the other. Metal key ring attached. Light green YKK zipper top. You can easily fit a pair of sunglasses in there.

Enjoy all the compliments you're going to get!!

This is a one of a kind, hand crafted, quality item. Treat yourself or give this item as a gift. Enjoy.

bag measures 18 1/2" tall X 14" wide X 5" deep. 3 inches across the top zipper placket.

Completely machine wash and dry-able. Air drying will retain the colors longer.


Chapter 5:

" 'OMG, would somebody shut that woman up!' Good grief! This woman was going to get us all killed. All night my husband and I ran from those rotting Zombies. Without any cash on us, This was the only place we could get into. It was crammed full of people, all sweaty, thirsty, and hungry. No way was I opening up my purse in this place. If they knew I had breakfast bars they'd rip me apart to get one! My husband and I huddled close together, waiting for the government helicopters to come. God I hope they get here soon! '

Hauling Ass Bags are designed to carry all your stuff! Each is a one of a kind tote, made from reclaimed and reconstructed blue jeans and shorts. Lots of pockets, fully lined, each with their own matching accessory item. All my supporting seams and handles are reinforced.
