After the apple harvest I found the need to replenish the stack of reusable grocery bags after losing a few this summer.
The challenge was finding suitable fabric without breaking the budget and running to a fabric store. The blue and white floral fabric were a pair of recycled curtains. It's a strong cotton fabric that I momentarily thought of turning into tea towels before getting back to the project on hand. The straps are recycled grosgrain ribbon.
This one was patchworked using some home décor scraps and a touristy tea towel. The strap is a recycled yoga band.
And one more patchworked bag made with home décor and denim scraps. The straps again were from a recycled yoga band.
The pattern is my go-to bag pattern, out-of-print (OOP) McCall's 4851. I did straighten the top edge, the only change I made.
