My 2 year old son often helps me do the grocery shopping, so I thought I'd get the sewing machine out and make him a bag of his own.
After sourcing a canvas grocery bag from your favorite store, the first step is to cut off the sides and lay the bag out flat.

Trim down the front and back of the bag to size. Remember that the bottom part of these will also form the bottom of the bag, so leave a little extra.
You will also need to trim down the sides of the bag (both height and width).

Rather than cutting up a new bag, I might "re-make" an old one instead. I was wondering what to do with the old bags I have as the corners and edges start wearing out. Cutting off those worn edges (and stains that have accumulated in the bottom of the bag) would be a perfect way to get one more round of use for that old big grocery bag ... making a smaller bag for my helper-kids!
