After making my own reusable grocery bags (you can find the pattern here) I thought they would make a fun birthday gift for my mother-in-law.
This was the perfect excuse to buy a couple of the pretty Emmy Grace floral prints that I had my eye on and I paired them with Kona curry and Kona ash for the lining and handles.
Since I had used canvas for my bags I was curious how the quilting cotton would feel, but they seem just as sturdy.
I have been using my own bags regularly and love them, it is a great pattern.
Super cute!!! I love all the ones you have made so far! They look super fun to make too!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out so pretty! I love those prints.
ReplyDeleteooh, these are just wonderful.
ReplyDelete/i love these and especially like the handles! I'm trying to figure out how to make a reusable grocery bag that won't squash fresh stone fruit... I bet you can do it!!
ReplyDeleteXX!
I am LOVING these Erica! I keep telling myself I have to wait until my "must do's" are complete, but you're making it so hard. That curry with the floral....
ReplyDeleteI bought this same pattern and made lots of bags. They were a great stashbuster, even used up some old drape panels. My mother is 78 and hard to buy for. I made her 3 of these for Mothers Day in a pretty sunflower fabric. She loved them! She says the handles on these don't hurt her hands like the plastic bags do. I really like that these can be washed. Your bags are really pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful bags! They are cute, strong, easy to carry
ReplyDeletepractical, fun to use, just the right size...need I go on? With love, the lucky Mother in Law
I had been considering getting this pattern and your post was the little push I needed. I've made three so far- two large ones and a little one. It's super cute!
ReplyDeleteI'll be making more for sure :)
