If you have any experience with the Girl Scouts, you’ll likely know what a sit-upon is. It’s basically a waterproof pad that can be laid on the ground and, well, sat upon! Anyways, I’m totally digging this sit-upon from My Recycled Bags. Crocheted plastic bags on the waterproof side and denim on the sitting side…Perfection!
