Description:

This swap is for 1 resuable shopping bag. It is a USA only swap.

Resuable shopping bags are all the craze right now. These can be pretty simple to make and I like the homemade ones best because they show individual style. So for this swap you will have 1 partner to send 1 shopping bag that you have made. Or you can have someone make one for you. These are not to be plain store bought kind. If you do buy these at the store you must alter them in some fashion. These are to be maker's choice. You can look at your partner's profile and make something specifically for them but like I said that is up to you. However make this something that you would like to have.

Swappers must have at least a 4.5 rating and have participated in at least 5 swaps (other than email swaps).

I will be listing some websites for you to look at.

Does it have to be fused plastic bags? I always end up burning myself(I'm very accident prone)and I prefer fabric anyway.

No it doesn't have to be fused. It can be fabric. I was just leaving some sites for ideas. The last 2 are fabric.

Mine will be made by me!

Mine will be made by me also. You will be able to tell because it will not be perfect....lol.

I'm having so much fun making these. If you can find canvas, it sews upp well and is very strong. I've already got the one for the swap made! (Unless I get paired off with a guy, then this bag just WILL NOT work!) I'll be starting number 3 as soon as I get more thread!

I am assigning partners early. Something has come up and I will be out of town next week. Hope everyone has fun.
