Life on the road can be tough.
But whether you're on-the-go or hangin at home, every hobo needs a sack for his treasures.
So load it up,
hit the road,
and sit back on the tracks to enjoy a break.
Though it's not a new concept, the hobo sack is one of the easiest things to make. It's a great project for the beginner sewer and even the advanced! Make one, make two, make ten!
Whenever we're running out the door, I ask each of my kids to load up a sack with their favorite toys and snacks.
And the car-ride is (often) a more pleasant one.
Sound easy? You betcha. You'll be done in less than an hour!
Make your hobo a happy one.

What fabulous photos of your little hobo!
(p.s. the bag is cute too -- but the hobo steals the show)
you're killing me! i just found your site, and i can't stop looking at it! so many adorable things to make... and so little time! i just made the 90 minute shirt yesterday... what a great idea. and now this little bag? my little guy would love it... a place to store his rocks and berries and cheese sticks...
what creativity you have...and such skill to transform it into such beautiful things :)

I love this idea...so easy and fun! I'm loving all your boy stuff!!
I love it. Where did you get the fabric for this Hobo sack? I need to make one just like it!

Absolutely adorable! Oh how I wish I had sewn with my boy was little... he's only 6 now, so there's still plenty I can do. Thank you for the great inspiration!
I absolutely LOVE your blog! Although my little hobo's are now
6'6 and 6'8, when they were young and I made them anything they would wear it until it literally fell apart. Most people think sewing for girls is the most fun, I disagree boys enjoy what you make more.
The stick!!! Oh, you are killing me. Too cute.
i love this series. you have me yearning for a sewing machine and a little boy (no kids for me, yet).
my stepmom used to make us car bags for long trips, with mad-libs, gummy worms, and other goodies. i loved them so much and it definitely kept the three of us .
Thanks for making this month all about THE BOY! I have a boy and I am a wanna-be crafter/sewer but all the fun tutorials I see is little girl stuff which bums me out. But I have now added tons of things to my "To-do projects".
I also linked your blog to mine so my readers could check it out!
Can he be any cuter? Love the fabric choices. I think I may need to make one of these for a lil' boy I know.
Ah. My daily dose of Owen.
And the Hobo sack is pretty cute, too.
Such cute pics!!!! And AWESOME bag!!! I'm gonna give this a shot too!
Dana, this is so cute! I love it on that little stick, ugh! Cute! And Owen is killing me, I could just eat him up!!
I'm glad you guys like the Hobo Sack! Can't wait to see your versions of it!
And I was worried that someone would ask where I got that fabric! Sadly, I'm not sure I can answer that.
I got it for about $3/yard (can you BELIEVE it?? thankfully I still have a couple yards of it) at a discount store in LA who was getting rid of stuff. I've searched online to see who designs it and I can't find anything.
So I'm sorry I'm not much help!
good idea Emily! maybe if you sew a piece of cardboard or plastic canvas into the bottom of the sack?
he is seriously, so cute! and I love your eye for a good picture!
ADORABLE!!! The bag is cute but your little Owen is even cuter!!! Love it!

Love the fabric and draw string combo. Very cute. If your fabric is corduroy I bought some at Britex fabrics in San Francisco about a year ago. I checked the selvege edge, but there's not a name on it... Sorry!
Ooooh, I can't wait to make this. I remember making these in Junior HS. Fun! Oh the things that will be collected and carried around in these bags I will make. I love the material you used! =)
Love, love, love everything! Thank you so much for sharing your projects.
I absolutely love the hobo sack...especially that orange and grey knit. Where or where did you find that? Everywhere I look around where I'm from only sells solid colors.
Thanks again!
Colleen
