Grocery Bag Holder Tut blog picLeah at Phat Quarters show how to make a grocery bag holder and dispenser.  The plastic bags are easily inserted into the top of the bag.  Then, when you need to grab a bag, a drawstring hole at the bottom allows you to pull them out one at a time.  She pieced several coordinating prints together to make stripes around the bag, but you could also make it from a solid piece of fabric.  Even with the piecing, she says it can be made in just 30 minutes. Go to the tutorial.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
