Thanks to @TC for recommending this idea. I've been thinking of doing something along these lines for awhile now.

The reuseable shopping bags are very trendy right now. Most stores offer their own bags, plus you can get all kinds of cute or plain bags as well. I love using these bags for everything, but sometimes I wish they didn't say Joe's Fish Market or some such thing.

My idea is to take a bag and embellish it somehow. Maybe it is a plain bag that needs some glitz and glamour applied (sequins or beads or buttons etc). Or maybe one of those boring store bags needs to have the front redesigned (cover up the logo or store name with a quilt block or paint it). There are lots of options for embellishing the bag to make it more fun and personable. I know all you creative swappers out there can come up with something cool and clever for your partner.

Anyone in the group can join the fun, but you must have a rating of 4.7 or higher. I will check profiles before assigning partners, so be sure to let me know ahead of time if there is anything questionable on your profile. I want everyone to have a fun swapping experience, so please be courteous and send your swap out in a timely manner. I can angel but shouldn't have to do that. Happy Swapping!

Here's some tutorials for the reusable grocery bags. Have fun sewing.

This is on my watch list!

I want to clarify that you don't need to make a bag from scratch, unless you really want to. My idea was to take an already made bag and embellish it and alter it to make it more personal.
