Step 11 Hang Ups and Thank Yous

Initially I started this project using only floppy disks and no canvas backing, then I realized that the bag would be much stronger with it. I had to go slow during the end when I really wanted to be finished with the project; However, I needed to stitch slowly so as not to damage the needle due to so many layers of plastic and canvas. Also as you can see, the holes make perfect places for buttons. I took the bag on a test run, carrying roughly 15 bulky pounds for a day with no complaint.

I made this bag out of a combination of a want to create and a want to eliminate plastic bags because our dogs do not defecate enough to necessitate so many. I see people with these canvas or mesh shopping bags and decided to make a derivation of my first instructable using only materials that could be free or cheap for others to obtain. I did this so as to reduce the amount of products in the landfills and to entice other people into creating their own.

I would like to thank instuctables for hosting an outlet for me and so many others, and I would like to thank kiln_brick for letting me use his camera and sewing machine.
