Easy Shopping Bag

This shopping bag is fun and easy to make and uses a technique called the burrito roll or magic seam in it's construction. It is made to resemble those plastic shopping bags that you get at most stores across the country that is now being banned in 8 states, around the country, including Maine, the state where I live. The way this one is made also has a pocket on one side meant to fold the bag into it's own little pouch. Sort of like a pillowghan or quillow. There are other bag patterns out there similar to this one but this is how I make mine.

Random Quick Tip!

Computer Gift Cards
You can make great gift and hang tags using your business card software and a package of business card blanks. Just follow the instructions for making business cards on your computer but use cute clipart from the internet for gift tags and take a photo of your handcrafted item and put it on a hang tag for when you sell them at bazaars and craft shows. It is less expensive this way if you only need a few and not hundreds of them.
