It is taking years, but even I am taking notice that mainstream America is gradually resorting to more eco-friendly habits. My son intrigued me with a conversation the other day regarding the future of grocery store bags with the possibility of a tax levied for their use. I found this pattern here and decided why not sew a bag I would enjoying stuffing with celery, yogurt and other sundry items.I deviated from the pattern somewhat by adding a lining, liking the contrast of the two fabrics and the extra sturdiness it provided to the bag.
When I told Rose I was making a grocery store bag she replied,"Mama, are you going green?" Suddenly I felt so with it.

That is a great bag, roomy, sturdy looking and still has that eye appeal. Like the paisley.
I have one of the 'green' bags I got from a book rep. I forget to bring it when I go to the store. Maybe I will just tuck it in the car so it'll be there when I need it. One bag is not enough at the store though, so I either need to buy more 'green' bags or make some.
I thought about crocheting some net bags, but wasn't sure how sturdy they would be. I'll have to think on it some more.

So with it. Your stripey bag looks like a trip to Cape Cod.
