i need some help

i haven't really done much crafts or sewing. mostly i've just stuck to making jewelery and stuff like that for my friends. but the other day i got an idea for a bag and i need some advice or help. heres my plan, let me know if there are any problems w/ it or whatever.

i'm going to buy a large amount of white cotton fabric (at least a couple yards) and tie dye it. then i'm going to cover one of those canvas bags you can get at hobby lobby with the tie dyed fabric, including the handles.

will this work? will it look alright? i have no idea about sewing bags, so any advice or whatnot would really help.

thanks!

 

That sounds like more work than just making a bag from scratch. How are you going to get the fabric onto the canvas purse?

 

I've tried to do this before... way too much trouble.

 

so then what supplies and stuff like that would i need to go about just sewing the purse?
