I have a wedding shower coming up so I made four grocery bags for the bride-to-be. She is a dog lover so had to throw some of that fabric in :lol: They are all lined with the black and white dots. I hope she will like them!

cool bags

im sure she will love them. good idea.

Those are wicked!! She is going to LOVE them!!

Aw, they are great!

That is a great idea!!!! I always manage to forget mine, maybe I should just leave them in the trunk!

Those are awesome! I have some of the store bought ones...they are not as nice as yours...but I try to use them most of the time. :) Maybe if I made some like that, I'd want to show them off and bring them all the time.

Very nice! I love handmade items that are extremely practical (and very cute in this case :-D )!

Very nice!! I've made a number of bags a similar style.

So nice and earth-friendly. She should love them.

Whats not to like :-P

Imagine the complements she will get when shopping! You did a marvelous job and such cute fabrics!

love the grocery bags

May I ask if you used a pattern for these. Would you care to share the pattern or link? These are very nice and I think I really have to make some.

What a great idea!! Never would have thought of those for a wedding present but it is sensible and usable. I like that!!

What a great idea for a wedding gift!

Great idea!

Great gifts!

I like these. Do you have a link to the pattern?

I make shopping bags from rummage sale pants and skirts. They are fantastic. You can spill pickle juice or ice cream and they wash like a dream. They are as tough as nails and are next to indestructible. And cheap if you get to a $5 bag sale. Room for at least 10 pr of pants, more skirts, and if you're lucky enough to find shorts, you can put in about 20 into a $5 bag

Sorry about the double posts---------heavy thumb I guess

ditto :)

Great idea! Now only if she remembers to take them with her.

Yes...I am curious too. What a great idea and I love that you made them reflect an interest of the recipient!
She will love them!

I've given grocery bags as bridal gifts and the couples have always really liked them and that they were able to be greener :D

I like your pattern.

Adorable bags :D:D:D

I searched using "fabric grocery bag patterns" and found a ton of links on the web.
I used this tutorial:
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=177482.0

The first one came out a little shorter than I wanted. It takes a bit more fabric than I thought to do the french seam on the bottom so I cut the other 3 a little longer.

And the wonderful thing is, they can be used for lots of other things besides groceries.

I got a huge bag of upholstry remnants and have been making all shapes and sizes of tote bags, from just big enough for a wallet, cell phone and keys to giant size that can be used for clothes for weekend travel, some with pockets, some without, some lined, some not.

Your bags are very cute nice gift. But i have to say love your Doodles.

Thanks for the link.

They are great, she will appreciate them.
