Pattern Description:
From the website: "Are you a grocery bag collector? Use them for mini garbage can liners? To carry picnic lunches in? To throw diapers in before throwing those stinky bombs in the garbage? Where do you put all of your bags? Need a tutorial for one? Well, here you go."

Pattern Sizing:
See the website tutorial for full dimensions. Mine is for my trucker son to use in the cab of his rig - so I made this one half size. I did 22" wide x 13" long. The top elastic was 1/4" x 11" and the bottom elastic was 1/4" x 6 1/2". The handle is grosgrain ribbon cut to 13" long with a half inch folded under on each side.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very easy.

Fabric Used:
leftover cotton

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I made a half size - see above for actual dimensions.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
This is a great idea. After making this I decided I need a full size one for my own use in the home - and Dh suggested I make some up for gifts.

This is a great idea! I need one for the kitchen and garage and maybe a small one for the car. (Are those license plate images on the fabric??? That would be good for a truck driver!)

I should make myself one of these - I am wallowing in plastic bags. Great idea.

Thank you - yes, Renren - those are license plates. I didn't buy this special - had it leftover from years ago - but it was appropriate! I am making several more full sized versions as well!

I made one for our new place. They are great to store grocery bags in for reuse.
