Tutorial: Grocery bag holder and disepnser

by

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.
