I had the pleasure of meeting up with Megan and Jeni again (and Megan’s wonderful mother) a couple weekends ago. It’s so fun to be able to chat about sewing stuff, almost everyone else I know gets bored with sewing talk way too quickly. Anyway, last time we had gotten together I didn’t sew much, but this time I was determined to make something!
This is one of those projects I’ve been meaning to make for years. Really. So I threw my supplies together and figured I might make some progress on it. I followed ps i quilt’s grocery bag dispenser tutorial.
Happy to say I walked away with two finished grocery bag dispensers, all quilted and ready to go! I can’t wait to wash mine and see it get all crinkly. Of course, I made the other one for my mom. It was a fun and quick project!
I used charms from two charm packs I had gotten from Windham fabrics, one is Bella by Lotta Jansdotter, the other is Glimma (soon to be released) by Lotta Jansdotter as well. At first I wasn’t super excited by the colors, but when they’re all quilted, it’s so pretty!
Mine’s already stuffed full!
They look awesome, Anna! I have one that I bought at a dollar shop ages ago and always wanted to make one with nicer fabric. Now I feel inspired to have a go:)
They are great, was just thinking I need one so thanks for the tutorial lik.
Oh it does look amazing – beautiful and practical. Love love.
We have a metal one, but it gets fingerprints ALL over it. Drives me crazy – it always looks dirty. A fabric one would be super cute and great.
Yay! They turned out so cute! Always have a great time when we get together! 🙂
Just had my ‘why didn’t I think of that!?’ Moment for the day! I made one not long ago but never even thought of making a quilted style one, mine was simply a cute fq, without any lining or such. It’s cute of course and I love the fabric pop of color when I open my pantry but I wish I had of quilted it! My mum has been asking for one also, since she seen mine! Maybe I will quilt one for her! 🙂
boy, do I need one of those! I am sick of bags being everywhere!
Me too – YEARS – since my last one fell apart. I love that you’ve used charm squares – how totally convenient!
I just need one of those! But I forgot it;) So thanx for remind me to make one!
A “bag thingy” has been on my list for years. I’m going to look at the pattern now and I think this will be my next small project. I love the fabrics you used, they look beautiful together.
Those fabrics are great together! I just hauled two giant plastic bags full of other plastic bags back to the grocery store yesterday; these would be much better for storage. :/
This has been on my list for yonks too, plus a bag to hold new packs of washing up sponges and the like, but these things always seem to get put off when more exciting things some along ;o) Yours look great though, maybe the random charm packs I have need to be pressed into use…
So pretty, Anna! This has been on my list for years, too. Maybe I can make one soon…hopefully! 😉
Very nice colors.
So much more stylish that my IKEA plastic tube!!
Hahaha always a woman of class!
i love your ‘bag thingy’s’…really cute, and useful too! great gift idea. thanks for sharing.
OH I love this! What perfect fabric for this project. I’m off to find myself some fat quarters so I can make one, too! 🙂
This is exactly what I need!
i have been meaning to make one for myself for YEARS!!!!!!!!
I love yours. Thank you for sharing the tute! I need to make one of these and get the grocery bags off the floor of the pantry. It drives me nuts!
