Our project is to make Market Bags. The cashier at WalMart says that they'll stop carrying the plastic bags "soon"...Better to have these made or at least know HOW to make them, than to be empty handed and forced to buy the stores brand of bags.
Here's your supply list:
Cotton fabric of your choosing, cut into 42 by 20 inch rectangles. For each rectangle you'll need TWO rectangles cut 22 by 4 inches (these are going to be the straps).
Matching or coordinating thread for your sewing machine.
Sewing Machine
Fabric scissors
fabric pins
I'll have an ironing board/iron set up for use. I'll also provide drinks and cookies. If someone wants to bring M&M's please do! M&M's and crafting go very well together.
Have a look at this site to get an idea of what we're going to do.
Be at my house at 10:30 this Friday morning. Bring your kids and your picnic lunch. Expect to be here until just after 1pm. See you then!
