Here in Wales, UK, there has been a charge for plastic bags for a year or two so all us quilters have been busy making totes for our family and friends and they are fast becoming a fashion statement!
Here are just a few, I also have a Purse organizer, bought them as Christmas pressies this year as well for those who had a tote from me last year. It makes changing bags so easy, and keeps everything organised when loading the bag with shopping, and of course they are fully washable, win win
