Take Me to the Lake Tall Waxed Canvas Bucket Bag
Sometimes the material decides what we're going to make.
I've had these wonderful cotton panels featuring vintage outdoor women, and I've been wanting to find a way to use them without cutting away the artwork that makes them so much fun.
So I didn't cut this one down.
I made the bag bigger.
The result is an extra tall waxed canvas Bucket Bag measuring approximately 18" tall with a 7.5" diameter, featuring the full Take Me to the Lake fishing panel on the front.
And there will only be one bag made with this panel.
Built for the Tall Stuff
The unusual 18" height gives this bag all kinds of possibilities.
We think it could make a fantastic lantern bag for the right size lantern, but it certainly doesn't have to stop there. Use it for camp kitchen gear, rolled blankets, a thermos, fishing gear, tools, craft supplies, vehicle organization or whatever tall and awkward gear you've been trying to find a home for.
Sometimes it's nice to have a bag that isn't shaped like everything else.
Dimensions
Approximately 18" tall × 7.5" diameter
Because lanterns vary considerably in size, please measure your lantern before ordering if that's how you plan to use the bag.

Take Me to the Lake
The artwork is what made this bag happen.
I wanted to preserve the whole scene: the woman with her fishing rod, the old fashioned outdoor clothing, the creel and that wonderful “Take Me to the Lake” lettering.
Making the bag extra tall gave the artwork room to be the star instead of cutting it down just to fit one of our existing designs.
That's one of my favorite parts about making things in small batches. Sometimes we can let a great piece of material change the plan.
One of a Kind
We may make other tall Bucket Bags, and you'll probably see some of the other outdoor women from these cotton panels turn up in future projects.
But this is the only bag we'll make with this particular panel.
When she's gone, she's headed to the lake.
Built to Age Beautifully
Waxed canvas develops character as you use it. Creases, scratches and scuffs become part of the patina rather than something you need to worry about.
This is a big bag meant to actually carry things and go places.
