Bountiful from the Beginning
So we don't leave Bountiful out, here are the shots of her when she was just a quick bag for me.
Oh my goodness! I think my kids have grown 6 inches this year! Way back at the start of preschool, I asked the teacher if I could make the girls some bags for the year. She (the teacher) requires everyone to get paper bags each time at the grocery store and they use those to bring home their work. But I really dislike paper bags for groceries, so I made these exactly the same size as a paper grocery bag. Let me tell you, these bags are still in great shape. They've even been washed a few times because of glitter, glue, and other essentials of preschool.
Their teacher liked them so well that she requested a couple for their school auction. I heard they brought quite a bit of money. Maybe next year I can distribute the patterns to the moms. :)

WHAT A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO PAPER GROCERY BAGS!
ReplyDeleteMuch better looking too, Melissa.
ReplyDeleteAdorable. Bummer I was hoping you'd share the pattern for the end of the year which is fast approaching. No place here uses paper grocery bags.
ReplyDeleteVery nice bags, plenty bountiful!

These are wonderful, Melissa! I love them!
ReplyDeleteLove It! Around here it is plastic, plastic, plastic. Takes 10 bags to haul out 50.00 worth of groceries....
ReplyDeleteNot to tell you my age, but I remember when the grocery store KEPT the boxes things arrived in and packed up the customer purchases in them, AND carried them to your car!?! Now that's recycling..
Great idea, love the tractor fabric, happy quilting Sue SA.
ReplyDeleteFantastic bag. I love bags in all sizes.
