A Grocery Tote Made from Recovered Fabric. 6.4.2021

This is the same pattern that I have used in the past.  The dimensions are barely larger than the brown paper grocery bags, so even if the store requires its own bags, it can be used to hold the grocery bag.  Those tear too often and a tote is more secure.

This was duck fabric, recovered from a couch back, thoroughly cleaned and restored.  Same as a recent cadet cap. I didn't know if the duck fabric was sturdy enough, so made a lining using some rip-stop fabric I had been wanting to use up.

With the lining, no internal seams are visible.  The handles are also one side, duck fabric and the other side, rip stop fabric for extra strength.
