But, in the meantime, I thought I'd peruse the web for some other fun ways to use burlap. Of course, there are more sites that sell recycled burlap handbags than you can shake a potato at, so I thought I'd highlight some of the more unique applications...
like this cool chair made from burlap sacks from Colcha: (via Green Eco Services)
Have yourself a red and GREEN Christmas with this great stocking by Lama Designs: (via Yummery)
You can also make quite the fashion statement with these great pants and skirts made from recycled burlap sacks: (via Great Green Goods)

I can't even imagine wearing something made of burlap. Or sitting on it comfortably. I'd have to think up something else to do with it, though, because burlap is such a neat fabric to use.
True...although as their site mentions the pants/skirts are fully lined with cotton/polyester. But, I am curious how the fabric would move with (or against) you when you sit!
I too have an obsession with burlap sacks. I wanted to make a curtain out of one but couldn't find any in my price range so I made my own. Here is a link to my tutorial on how you too can make your own feed sack.
