embroider what should go in the totes is a great idea. Just like the milk an veggies. Due to the bacteria that has been found in some of the bags this would be a great way to not cross contaminate!!! I may have to do this with mine!

Very clever. (I forgot how to use my embroidery machine). Old age sucks.

Did you have to take them apart to embroider on them?

I got them here. I had to double seam them tho when sewing them back together. The fabric is like the ones you get in the grocery store, the kinda woven plastic. They are pretty durable tho. I am making 12 and keeping a few for myself.
