Messenger Bag Tutorial - Part 1
It was a great bag for a while. I made up the design myself, which is good and bad. I made mistakes on this one. One of my worst mistakes was using light-colored quilting weight fabric rather than home dec. The bag wore out quickly. After just one washing it lost a lot of its body and just slumped after that. It lasted about a year and then went on the top shelf of the closet. I held onto to it for that day when I wanted to duplicate it, since overall I really liked the design

Oil Cloth Lunch Bag Tutorial
I saw this neat-o idea for making lunch bags on Skip To My Lou and since I am in an Oil cloth-crazed phase lately I thought how perfect would these be for a picnic! I changed it up a bit though and added a velcro closure so the oilcloth would stay folded shut and make carrying the lunch bag a little easier for smaller hands. Wanna see what I did?

There are three versions of the bag, each with its own list of supplies, cutting layout diagrams and checklist. The instructions have diagrams to help you through the assembly.

DIY Reusable Grocery Tote Bag Tutorial

DIY Crochet Bag Tutorial
The bag body is made in one piece, starting with the base. You will add a row of single crochet around the edge of the base, then work in the round up the sides. The flap is then worked back and forth in rows. The shoulder strap and buckle straps are made separately in contrasting yarn and sewn on at the end.

Green Grocery Bag Tutorial
I think I have mentioned on this blog before how much I love a good carry bag. But I what I don't enjoy is sewing bag handles. So I have been tinkering with a bag pattern that doesn't require handles. Well doesn't require handles that need turning through and attaching to the bag (since I'm not sure a carry bag without handles is still technically a carry bag).
