It looks a little wonky but that is what makes it unique. It took as long to make the plastic bag "yarn" as it did to crochet it. I plan on giving it to my DIL as she loves totes.

My mother used to crochet the bread bags! I seem to remember a couple of rugs & maybe a cover for a potted plant.... She always knew how to use up every little bit of anything. That must be where I got the re-use it gene! LOL!The bag you made is really pretty. Thank you for showing us!
