The next time you're shopping take your own DIY cloth grocery bags. Our reusable shopping bag pattern is easy to sew, environmentally friendly, and will last for many, many years. It's handy for trips to the grocery store, farmers market, department store, library and you can even stuff it with things for the park or beach.

Some areas of the country are banning plastic bags, other places are charging for plastic bags and some stores reward you for bringing your own bags. These are all good reasons for keeping a stash of reusable bags in the car.

Have you ever purchased shopping bags from a retailer? The bags are very flimsy and the handles break easily. Using the fabric we recommend will make a sturdy, durable grocery bag.

The advantages of this free grocery bag DIY pattern:
• Quick and easy to sew
• Sturdy, durable bag which won't tear or rip easily
• Can be completed in an hour
• Only need one piece of fabric
• No lining needed
• Webbing for handles and shoulder straps
• Large capacity
• Bag is washable

This grocery bag pattern is large enough to carry lots of stuff and includes both comfortable short handles and also a shoulder strap long enough to sling over your shoulder so your hands are free for shopping.
