My husband is an avid golfer and has a great collection of golf hats from all over the place. Oh, not a "sit them on a shelf" type of collection, he wears them. And wears them hard. I mean - he golfs when it's over 100 degrees out there, so yeah, they get kind of funky. So I wash them, he wears them ... and I wash them, he wears them ... and before we know it, they really have out-lived their usefulness. But some of the logos are just SO COOL - so what to do? I thought long and hard on that for a while, then it hit me. If I can cut logos out of t-shirts and make a really cool quilt, can't I do something with golf hat logos? ...except that they're quite crunchy and hard and embroidered on thick, thick canvas ...
So how about a bag!?!?
I cut all the logos out, grabbed some heavy-duty canvas, and started playing around.
Seriously, some are just way too cool to toss out.
I stitched them onto the canvas, grabbed a cute golf-themed cotton fab for a lining, and made a drawstring bag:
Mike thought it would be great to hold "range balls". I'm not a golfer myself, so I only have a vague idea what that means, but that's OK! I was just thrilled to have a purpose for the cute designs! :)
After I had the bag together, I thought it would be convenient to have a D-ring at the top, so Mike could hook it to his golf bag with a carabiner clip. It would have been better had I come up with that idea an hour earlier than I did ... but it all worked out.
I did some ripping, inserting, then re-stitching. It was worth it - the D-ring is very handy.

| When I inserted the D-ring, I also inserted one of my KZK tags. Upside down. But if it's hooked to your golf bag, and you look down on it ... it's right-side up. Right? ARGH!!! |
I used some cording and one of those cord-lock things from an old backpack. I think it's a great touch - I think I need to buy some of those; I like them!
Thanks for reading!
I love it! Nice way to re-purpose those logos. I see you added a few Siberian themed logos too. I like to use those cord lock things on the knitters project bags. You can get them at Joann's (just 2 per pack) or in quantity online real cheap (if you think you could use 100 of them ;-).

That is REALLY cool!
ReplyDeleteIt's a kind of Huffle Duffel! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI am a golfer and this is fabulous! What a great idea and you did a super job with it. Did your husband to go all of these tournaments or just buy the hats? If he went he's been to some terrific places.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea. Know it will be well used and loved. So...what about the hats>????
ReplyDeleteThat's a very clever idea for using those logos! It turned out fabulous! He's going to be the envy of the golf course!
ReplyDeleteThat is soo cute!! And it's a great size for a pup-pack, throw in some balls and toys and maybe a long leash and some treats and poop bags and you are all set for an adventure!! LOVE IT!
