Bags and More Bags
July 5th, 2008. Filed under: Sewing on Saturday.This is still a hot topic. Sew, Mama, Sew! put up a tutorial for the classic tote a few days ago. More people are finding ways to make stylish bags for grocery shopping. Have you given up the paper or plastic habit? I’m trying, but find that I need to either add a few more bags or buy fewer groceries. Every week I seem to come home with a few plastic bags in addition to the cloth ones I carry with me. I’ve moved past the stage of forgetting to grab my bags as I leave on my errands. I’ve decided I’m going to have to make some of those bags from plarn to use up some of the plastic ones I’m bringing home. I keep finding more good patterns for the bags, so I’ll share. Please feel free to share any you’ve found with us.

It’s difficult not to think about it with every other store jumping on the band wagon and selling the reusable bags with their logo. How can it not be the best approach to the problem of overabundant plastic bags being dumped in our landfills, water ways and every place else?
