Sew a Grocery Bag Holder





Sew a Grocery Bag Holder Tutorial
  
Most of us reuse grocery bags as trash liners or carry out bags. But where do you store them all? For many days I had tuck them at random places in my kitchen. Today I sew a grocery bag holder to put them all in a place and to pull one easily when I need. Now, here I am happily sharing how to sew it :)

Sew a Grocery Bag Holder Tutorial

Cut 20x13 inch pieces from external fabric, interface and lining fabric. (If you don't need the stiffness, you can skip interface and lining. Just go ahead with external fabric.)

Fuse the interface with external fabric. Align it with lining and make a 1/2 inch seam at the top.
