Love your bags, especially the patchwork fabric you made for them. Keep up the great work. May in Jersey

Very cute!!! We call them 'ditty bags' here.. not quite sure why!! LOL I have one I keep in my pantry and I have another one down in my laundry room. they are great to have around and they certainly keep all the plastic bags in a more controlled environment!

I made one of those for myself, but yours are much more attractive!! I will try a patchwork one, as well!

Does anyone have a pattern for the bag holder? I would so enjoy making one as a gift.

I made mine pretty huge... we have both a dog and a cat to clean up after. hehe And I used the same fabric scheme she did... but I like the patchwork idea lots better!!

Great idea for a gift and I really love yours. I can't believe I've never made any...it's been on my list though, if that counts, lol!

That's what I like about this board: we piggy-back off of each other's ideas. I will definitely try this one. I made one of those bags using a souvenier wine sack (from a grandchilds trip to Mt. Vernon). I had no use for it in it's original state, so I ripped out the bottom and added elastic on both ends. Now I'll have to try my hand at the patchwork bag. Thanks.
