Thank you, yes, I do think my colorful bags are nicer happier bags. At least it brings a smile on my face everytime I sew them. Can't show them all to you, coz it almost looks the same.

This has made such a beautiful attractive looking shopping bag now. Did you undo the seams of the original shopping bag and spread it out and place the fabric on top?

Well done, love Chris

Thank you, I only undid the side seams and yes, spread it out to sew the strips on top of the bag, I then just folded the top fabrics after cutting off the handle, (lazy and crazy),
hope no sewing police reading this .-) Love, Mary

And now you have turned a humdrum bag into a work of art. Well done. I've tried this with wide ribbon too.

Thank you, I think with ribbon, it must have looked really nice and elegant.
