Grocery/All Purpose Tote

This was made using a Keyka Lou sewing pattern. I love these bags. This is the 7th one I have made. Three for me, one for my son for school in September, two as gifts, and now one for the shop. It's fun to play with colors and patterns with these, and they're easy to put together. They're surprisingly durable - I have really put them to the test. I stuff one that I use every day for my wallet, diaper stuff, and all sorts of junk that I carry around for no reason. I also use them for library books and videos, beach stuff, and for groceries. After a year of using them, I have yet to see any wear and tear, which is amazing. They do get dirty, but are easy to clean in the washer and drier. Oh, and they're lined and reversible! So happy to get rid of the plastic bags, which are terrible for the environment.  These are bigger than the typical plastic grocery bag, and can be used a million times.


 These fold up small and a bunch can be squished into another one for easy toting or storage.







Reversed!
