I like those. I've thought about making some too but just haven't taken the time.

Okay, I've been buying my cloth bags from the grocery store but no more of that when there are such great options to copy right here. Enough advertising for the store!

Thank you all for your encouraging comments, I appreciate them. All the fabric is stuff from my stash. I am trying very hard to use up some of it. It is in tubs and boxes all over the sewing room and has really limited my access and enjoyment of the sewing room. I should be ashamed of myself.....................but than it would not be called an addiction. Alas, now I need to purchase more Trigger for more bags.

Love the dog want you to see him too.


Thank you I have been trying to remember to use them -------it's all in training. I get to the cash register and remember they are in the car or at home. The dog is a throw that my son got me for Christmas, and it looks just like our yellow Lab Rusty. Who takes up most of our time now, he is a great hunter but also the best family pet. Insidently, your little guy is adorable.

Great bags!! I have gone green too and only use cloth bags now--but I cheated and bought mine at the store. I could not make them for the $1 I paid for them. They are sooooo much better than plastic or paper.

I had an idea to try to make some too sewbusy - but have not had the time or found a pattern that I really thought I liked. Where did you find your pattern? I really like the idea of the pouch for coupons too.

Great bags Sewbusy, I like you have to get into the habit of remembering to actually take them into the shop with me as mine stay in the boot of my car. It will become automatic with time I hope. LOL
I sent DH to the car to collect them from the boot when we were away on holiday, he returned empty handied looking confused!!!
We had taken his car on our holiday & not mine, did I get my leg pulled or what for having short term memory loss.
They will make ideal Christmas presents - us girls can never have enough bags.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you rein, I didn't have a pattern. I used the trial and error method, and that is why it took me a few to get the right size and the fastest way to put them together figured out. Even at different sizes they are all useable.
