This is not a plastic bag

We at the Eternal Maker think we are better placed than most people to encourage the use of bags for life and getting rid of plastic bags, as we have so much bag inspiration instore. Unfortunately we do still provide plastic - boo - but we try to put as many as possible of our sales into paper. Now I've decided it's time to encourage you even further to make your own bag - what better way to show off your makes than whilst saving the planet?
So for a little help - because, let's face it, we all like a little help:
A standard canvas bag from Morsbag.com
The brilliant Lotta Jansdotter's tote bag from her book Simple Sewing, would look great with some of the fab new Kaffe Fassett fabric we've just got in..
'Hobo Bag' from J Caroline Creative - this one I might have to make myself, in some of my fave Amy Butler fabric...
And of course Amy Butler herself has a free download for a lovely yoga bag
A bag based on the bag that started the problems - the cheap plastic bag - here from allfreecrafts.com.
And if you need any extra inspiration - take a look at this lovely tape from Kokka, perfect for bag handles...
