Another one of the projects I've been up to lately. These are shopping bags, or totes if you will. They are made of laminated cotton, are extremely lightweight, and can fold up and be tucked in a purse or pocket. Easy to keep in the map pocket of the driver's door in the car. There is a three inch pleat on each side making them expandable for groceries or several items of new clothes. They can carry a lot of weight. I've recently toted home two half gallons of milk in glass bottles along with four glass bottles of root beer (brewed locally I might add), in a single bag along with a loaf of bread and a few vegetables. I happened to only have had one bag with me at the time. They are washable. They make nice gift bags too.
I make them in several ocean related prints (the one at top I consider "beach umbrellas").
In bocca al lupo. m (no v)
Hey M,
ReplyDeleteMy Dad ended up with one of your bags as a result of our Tues 2nd gift exchange. It is great! You are so talented in so many ways... your writing, your photography, and now your bags. I miss being on shift with you... Robbie
How did that happen??? I'm so pleased! Thank you for telling me, and for your encouraging words. m
