I need two for these hanging trash bags for my back seat too. These are so easy to sew and once again we are using leftover fabric. My grandkids travel a lot in my car and They like a lot of kids forget to bring the trash out with them. I carry along a ugly store bag. I also like the idea of the pockets to store small toys. This trash bag will be great for my daughter-in-law to take with her to the doggie park. Thanks. Anyone make any for their cars?

Hey y'all, Finny here. If you want to print the pattern and instructions without my rambling (which I absolutely understand), just click the green "Print" button at the bottom of the post and delete any content that you don't want printed from the preview that pops up. Go to it. Happy sewing.

@brewerf62 0960361, There is no condensed version of this project, unfortunately. If you would like to try printing without any advertisements or comments appearing on the page, try this: go to the page and highlight the text, then right-click on it. You'll get a window that gives you the option to "copy." Do that, and then paste the text into a word document. You should be able print that document that way. I hope this helps! --Editors of AllFreeSewing

I agree, I like to print out the patterns I know I'll use soon, but the amt of paper is a little bit much, wish a condensed version could be developed for the patterns. I do LOVE this site though. don't stop please though with all your great patterns.

I can see this with a medium pocket in front of the trash bag for mail, notes, etc. Then the smaller pocket could have a split in middle for the kleenex to pull through.

Where did the pattern go for hanging trash bag? Got my pieces all cut out and ready to start sewing and the instructions are gone. Is this what happens with all your patterns?
