Right now my plastic bags are stuffed into one plastic bag that is hanging on a nail in the closet. After seeing this I have decided I need to make one . I have material left over from when I lined my crochet purses so that's no problem. And with the easy directions it's a done deal.

Really practical and useful project and it really does keep plastic bags out of sight yet handy when needed. This pattern could even be made using scrap pieces of fabric sewn and cut to match the sizes needed. This little bag would work well for storing rags or cleaning cloths as well while taking up less space. Fun and easy project for a beginning sewer as well. Thanks for a great project!

I love quick sew projects like this that are great for handy home decor! Definitely love the video aspect too since I'm a visual learner!
