Reusable Shopping Bag

It feels good to put a little bit less trash in the world... especially if Alexander Henry fabric is involved. (Thank you, Joann's.) The fabric was my final motivation for whipping out a little grocery tote. I'm still hoping to sew on a little tie so that the bag will fit compactly into my purse for surprise trips to Winco or fresh baby greens at the Farmer's market. My favorite things about homemade shopping bags are: 1)you can make them big enough to carry 2-3 regular bags of groceries, and 2) if you want to squeeze through the thick crowd at Winco you don't have to push a jumbo cart because you have a handy shopping bag with you.
