I usually make a new bag each year. Sometimes one for summer & one for winter. Right now I'm using the "Wallet & Grommit" bag that I made. It has large grommit for the handles to be attached to. If you decide to make one, I found out that you need to use buckrum (an interfacing for hats) to keep the grommits from pulling out. I made an I Love Lucy tote for my oldest DD. She's a bagaholic.
