I don't know about you, but I end up at the grocery store with a pile of shopping bags, my purse, and my list, all stacked in the front part of the shopping cart. Typically my list falls to the ground somewhere around aisle 2, leaving me with no idea what I came in to buy. So when I saw these on Sew4Home, my first thought was 'BRILLIANT!", and off I went to buy the stuff to put them together.
The instructions tell you how to double up the bags and even add an inside pocket. I was just wanting the vinyl pocket on the outside to hold lists & coupons, so I skipped all the other steps. I bought a medium weight vinyl ($4.99/yd + coupon!) and found a clearance fabric that matched the bags without being too annoying. I now own a lot of vinyl, by the way.
Vinyl needs a little love if you want to sew on it - I used masking tape to hold it in place (don't sew over the tape) and wax paper over the whole thing.
Really, how fun is this?! I'm excited to go to the store now. well, maybe not excited...
