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:)
ReplyDeleteThey are great, was just thinking I need one so thanks for the tutorial lik.
ReplyDeleteOh it does look amazing - beautiful and practical. Love love.
ReplyDeleteWe 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.
ReplyDeleteYay! They turned out so cute! Always have a great time when we get together! :)
ReplyDeleteJust 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! :)
ReplyDeleteboy, do I need one of those! I am sick of bags being everywhere!
ReplyDeleteMe too - YEARS - since my last one fell apart. I love that you've used charm squares - how totally convenient!
ReplyDeleteI just need one of those! But I forgot it;) So thanx for remind me to make one!
ReplyDeleteA "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.
ReplyDeleteThose 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. :/
ReplyDeleteThis 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...
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Anna! This has been on my list for years, too. Maybe I can make one soon...hopefully! ;)
ReplyDeleteVery nice colors.
ReplyDeleteSo much more stylish that my IKEA plastic tube!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha always a woman of class!
