Hey guys, it’s Clara from Online Fabric Store Reusable shopping bags are the green way to go This washable tote bag is perfect for groceries, shopping, or just about anything really The ones you buy from the grocery store tend to be pretty ugly and not very durable By making your own you can choose the fabric and they’re stronger than store-bought bags So let’s get started The materials you’ll need are: 1 yard of lining fabric, 1 yard of an outer fabric, a stabilizer which is optional, a fabric marker, a ruler, thread, pins, scissors, and an iron Pre-wash your fabric if you plan on washing your tote bag in the future Measure and cut two pieces of the outer fabric that are 21 inches wide and 20 inches long When this bag is done, it will be 15 inches tall 13 inches wide and 7 inches deep You can make it larger or smaller if you want. I’m using medium white home decor fabrics Canvas is another good option for the outer fabric Cut two pieces of the lining that are also 21 by 20 inches You can use medium weight or light white fabrics for the lining like quilting cotton or broadcloth This other bag is made with canvas, a printed quilting cotton, and cotton webbing This one is 12 by 10 by 6 You
