    tutorial for a reusable shopping bag

    This little shopper is adorable! My secret santa sent me a tiny flower one in my goodies and my eight year old niece grabbed it up before I could say anything! Which leaves me to believe that these would be a good gift for just about anyone.
    I ran across this tutorial this morning and had to share with you gals...

    Wow, I love to keep one of these in my purse, especially at quilt shows. Don't want to lose any of my purchases in those slippery plastic bags! Thanks for sharing-this is cuter than most of what I have seen!

    That's an adorable idea! Thanks for sharing! Nice way to use up some fabric that I don't want in quilts.

    It really helps if you use a thin fabric. I made a similar one from cotton and it's lined & barely fits into it's pocket. Love these bags, especially as alot of our shops charge for plastic bags now.

    Thanks for the tutorial. It would fold up easily into my purse and be able to use when going to craft shows and flea markets. I have a reusable shopping bag I'm using as a template and working on. It's good size I got from the store. Has a large hole where it came apart on the bottom. I would just mend it but why not use it as a pattern for a much sturdier denim one.
