Make your own grocery bag

Step 13 Ta-Da! You're done!

And there you have it! Your finished grocery tote is all ready to carry your onions or deodorant or sugar-coated breakfast cereal home from the market in style. You can jump in your Hummer, point it towards your McMansion, and feel good about "going green." Or jump in your Prius and head towards your solar powered yurt and feel good about "keeping green." You know which one you are.

At first I thought I f***ed it up, but then figured it out (hey, it's late and I shouldn't be up sewing anyhow). I did have a little Perez Pucker, but mostly out of being lazy. But it still came out nice if I do say so myself! Easy instructions and sturdy bag! Love the tutorial!

Thanks for the instructions. have you tried top stitching those side folds? I like to do that when I make the more 'box shaped' grocery bags. I wonder if it'd work on this one. I just made one following your instructions (but adding 2 inches each direction & sans chickens). I plan on another. I'll have to try top stitching the side folds....

I'm up way too late to be coherent, but I'm sitting here trying to follow your tutorial. It's a wonderful, smart , stylish little green bag. But what I loved most about this whole experience, was your snarky attitude and terrific sense of humour! Congratulations on a hard hitting chicken bag tutorial. I enjoyed it, and will be constructing one at a sewing machine near someone very soon! Thanks for ride. It was marvelous.

Very informative - and for an amateur seamstress, it's going to be a challenge! But the excellent (and very humorous) instructions make it worth the work it's going to be! Have you considered standup? You'd probably be very good at it!
