Cute house, tuckyq. This farmer is partial to the cow!

Rob, what about grocery bags? As plastics are getting banned in some areas, but couple of grocery bags would be nice. I have several made from corduroy or lightweight denim. Appliqued a cute square on each one. I based the pattern on a standard grocery paper bag. Baggers generally slip the handles over the plastic bag holder and they fill decently. For vegetables/fruits I sewed bags with a sheer weight polyester. I based the bag on the plastic pull bags, used French seams and used the selvage edge for the top opening and didn't hem the top.

Have this old UFO on the sewing table now. Then the "squirrel" mind decided to cut into the mound of scraps. First starching and ironing, then cutting into 5" sq and 5 x 10's, then cut down to next doable width. Have a couple of patterns that this idea will work.
