Easy Grocery Bag
Mar 26 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

VERY easy, useful, convenient, washable grocery bag…or fill it with whatever you want.
Available in 3 sizes
Basic sewing knowledge is required.

$40 includes pattern – materials are extra, sewing machine rentals avaialable.

The finished bags are useful for carrying groceries, packages, toys for kids or pets, your current knit or crochet craft project, etc.

These bags are the same basic design as the plastic bags stores give out. Just like those bags, these bags do NOT have a box bottom, but are pleated in a way that allows the corners to collapse and expand.

This pattern is written specifically for quilting cotton fabric, but other light to medium weight (up to 10oz) washable fabrics can be used. This gives you lots of great options for making some fabulous bags!
