Spring Tote Shopping Bag

I've been using cloth bags for all my shopping for many years now and they hold up surprisingly well. I do get bored with them so I'm always making new ones. What better way to use up scraps, eh?

I used flannel as a foundation and stitched down the strips quilt-as-you-go style. The lining is upcycled from a pink cotton sheet. Orange and green are not favorite colors but those limes are certainly a Tequila inspiration!

Baggin' It

I'm always inspired by contests because it causes me to stretch and well, some people just need deadlines to get things done. Check out the tutorial here: http://www.instructables.com/id/ESOB8OOF3SYP39F/

This shopping/grocery bag is made from 2 pillowcases and uses nearly all the material so there's very little scrap. Yea! I have enough scraps already, thankyouverymuch. All bags must have pockets (there outta be a law) and this baby has 2 outside pockets, perfect for my magazine addiction and brick cheese comsumption. (full fat version)
