Easy Shopping Bag

Easy Shopping Bag
"This shopping tote bag is the easiest and fastest way I have ever sewed. Last time I made more than 20 bags in a day for one of our bazaar sales. I prefer to use canvas or waterproof canvas for these designs and they are very strong for heavy items as well. It doesn't have any pockets or lining, so it is one of the simplest reusable shopping bags. Hope you enjoy your project. Happy sewing. "
