Shopping bag, grocery bag

I'm totally not into plastic bags and I think they should be banned due to obviously reasons - polluting. I carry a cotton bag in my handbag at all times. What's your opinion on plastic bags?

I few weeks ago I bought some really nice fabric and my mom's comment was, that it's a kitchen fabric. Therefore I made some shopping bags that can be also used as a grocery or lunch bag. Now any of family members can have it's own shopping bag. Maybe I'll use all of them depending on my mood. Today I was in a mood for flowers. Here they are:

First the green apples grocery bag SOLD


than the fruit grocery bag


and the flowers grocery bag


When folded together, they're no bigger than a wallet. Useful, right?

Three in a row or Crazy about stripes and big buttons?

Do you remember me asking for an opinion on which button to sew on a bag? You decided it should be a green one, so it was, but what to do with the yellow one? I made thiese little bags. They look alike, but each is uniqe. They're approximately 10cm X 8 cm, just the right size for ID card, credit card, student card, library card or any other card you can think of. For just 6 € a piece.

The one with green button is SOLD


The inside of the bag and yes the button has no useful value, it's there just because it looks good ;)

Wait! There's more! This is a bit bigger bag and it therefore has a bigger button. It's about 18 cm X 12 cm. The inside is the same as with the smallest ones. It can be yours for 16 €.


And last, but not least - my favourite - with a zipper. This one is 16 cm X 14,5 cm. The price? 16 €.


All of them together so you can see the difference in size.
Far right (with green button) SOLD



Any questions and comments are very welcome! Have a great evening.
