I have been sewing these over the past few weeks. They are shopping bags for my 7 lady friends for my Christmas lunch. These are very strong because they are made from shade cloth and boxed out for stability. I’ve added chevron stripe and multi spotted fabric for interest.

Thanks Miss Lillian, yes, they are great. I've made a lot for myself for my grocery shopping and they hold a lot and are so strong. All the checkout ladies at my local Coles store love them. Love Chris

Hi Sue and a big welcome from me from down-under. Shade cloth is like the mesh that is on sliding security doors to stop bugs, flies etc. from coming indoors. It's very pliable and strong. Where are you from because if you are Australian you can buy it from Bunnings. Love Chris
P.S. Not difficult at all to sew on, I used a 14 needle.

Well done Marian. I bought 5 metres and have stacks left and as our b....y Kookaburra has returned and started bashing our back windows I said to Trevor maybe I could use some of it to try and cover up the back deck area!!!! Good luck with yours. Love Chris
