  1. This is a seriously cool tote bag! I love that you have two different types of handles - me and my indecisive self need that kind of flexibility!! I posted a link to your tutorial on Craft Gossip Sewing:

  4. What a great tutorial. And our newspaper had an artical about proposing to begin charging for plastic and paper bags at grocery stores, etc. Perfect timing! I will be using this on our http://SewingBusiness.com blog.

  8. Love this bag. I am teaching my granddaughters how to sew and this would be perfect for them. It's a great book bag too. They are always drawing and coloring pages while we are on the road between our home and theirs.
    Thanks for the clear tutorial.

  9. I don't think this is just for groceries that's to save whatever thing I want because it's big enough and perfect to carry to a trip.
