Make your own pretty and practical fabric grocery bags in 3 SIZES using this PDF SEWING PATTERN.
The pattern document is a PAPER & INK FRIENDLY 7-PAGES: 5-pages of text and color photo instructions + 2-pages black and white pattern pieces. The handle pattern pieces are included and dimensions are given for you to mark out the rectangular bag body pieces (MEASURE & CUT).
This is a 1-2 HOUR PROJECT for those with sewing experience, a wonderful way to bust your stash, and the finished bags are useful for carrying (or storing) all sorts of things: groceries, packages, toys for kids or pets, your current knit or crochet craft project, etc.
The bags are the same basic design as the plastic bags stores give out. They are also:
• Easy to load - fits on bag holders used by many stores.
• Simple to clean - machine wash & dry.
• Reversible - fully lined & no exposed seams.
• Durable - double stitched seams.
This pattern is written specifically for quilting cotton fabric. This gives you lots of great options for making some fabulous bags! Sewn as the instructions are written, the bags are one fabric print on each side. But you can mix it up and make them from 3 or more prints.
The handles are sewn separately to keep pressing to a minimum and make the project quick and easy to complete.
The pattern is in PDF format and is available for INSTANT DOWNLOAD once your payment is processed
