DIY Grocery Bag.

Recently Jake and I upgraded from a twin bed (all the better for cuddles) to a full, so now I have been left with a pile of sheets that I can not longer use. I decided to do a little repurposing and make some cloth bags to use for the grocery store. Very simple!

Materials:
2 pieces of fabric 20x15 inches
2 pieces of fabric 29x4 inches
scissors
iron & ironing board
sewing machine

Once you have cut an ironed out your 20x15 inch fabric pieces, hem & pin 1" at the top (15in. side). Sew down the folded edge of both pieces.

Next, take the two 4x29 inch pieces of fabric and fold them lengthwise with the good side facing  inwards & iron the along the crease. 

After you have sewn the straps from end to end, trim the edge and turn right side out and iron.
Pin the straps onto the panels (approximately 3 inch down) and sew them on by using a box or an x stitch.

Once your strap are completed, pin the edges of the panels together (good side facing inwards) and stitch all around. Turn right side out and you're done!

Happy grocery shopping!

Etsy Finds: Lemon & Yellow Edition!

I love the color yellow and almost anything lemon I will eat. Etsy helped me create a list of lemony yellow things I will possess one day. Thanks a lot Etsy...

Seriously guys, these potato bags for the microwave are amazing. You can find this adorable one here.

Give me a freaking break! This store has amazing items, like this little yellow owl.

This bag is perfect for a new carry-on that I have been craving. Scratch that, I'll take one of everything in the entire shop.

I am a sucker for cute kitchen things. This shop is full of them!

I really love this. EncorePrints has a plethora of awesome paintings.

Dowdy Studio is full of awesome screen prints. I particularly am drawn to this little guy.

Too many cute things to handle. Check out these shops for the upcoming holiday gifts!
