Lovely, Oh So Lovely Burlap...Cloth of Hemp


I am totally and forever 'hooked' on burlap.  The sweet cloth woven from the fibers of the hemp plant has never lost popularity since I was a child.  When I unwrap a freshly purchased piece I sink my face deep into the folds and breathe in the memories of my childhood...gunnysack races, large bags of this stiff cloth filled shells my Father collected while at sea, or my favorite Halloween costume.  I love, love burlap.

Take a gander at my adventures with my cloth~o~hemp today.

I really believed that I was Pocahontas in my gown made of this cloth...ahhh, happy memories...

Isn't it cool that they grow red hemp?

Goodies for Etsy...

I love a good strawberry pincushion...

I am going to be knee deep in this stuff all weekend...that's just how 'hooked' I am...

More...

I just had to cover a baby bench while I was at it...

Only took minutes...

I am loving these "Hooked on Fridays" posting get togethers so graciously encouraged by Julia.  I am now off to sew up some more trouble with my yards of burlap...why you ask...because I am hooked...hook, line and sinker.
