Grocery Bag Swap OPEN

[MazdaUK]

I'd LOVE one of those - I could never make one as my sewing machine only sews in diagonal wobbly lines
ETA I use IKEA bags as laundry baskets as there's nothing for buttons to catch on -for moving stuff between washer and dryer/washing line, not the smelly stuff

 

[morgansmom2000]

I "sew" too. I say "sew" because it's nothing fancy or special, just basic basic stuff (I have no idea how to even read a pattern). And, I can guarantee none of the seams will be straight.

I'll keep an eye out for fun clearance fabrics (anyone know if Joann's is having a half off clearance fabrics sale?). I can usually get two totes out of one yard. I do need to go to Ryco for the webbed handle stuff...Now that I think about it, I may have two already cut and mostly pieced, just need the webbing.

You all make me

that's my neck of the woods! i have not been there in forever!

i have a brandy new sewing machine that my mil bought me for my birthday like 15 years ago. never out of the box! she's sews everything. although i asked her to make me a cover for my cricut and she said you have a sewing machine, why don't you try to make it!

I love the handmade totes. The pockets are cool.
Guess I better find myself some larger totes.

My sewing machine make the most loveliest caterpillars on the reverse side the stitch.

I checked and I do have two half done. One is the tea pots

I will probably go to Ryco this coming weekend. My BIL is coming for a visit from Texas, so I doubt I'll see much of DH all weekend. (I'm not complaining!).

I'm a sucker for a swap!!!! Sign me up!!! I found some really cute cloth bags at Petsmart. They are cloth, bigger than the grocery store ones, and cost more too so I think they would be considered large. Hopefully they will be a good swap for Jennifer's homemade ones. Those are awesome!

I'm still trying to find something for the small category. The ones from my grocery store are plain and dull - green with the store name across the front. Is that what you want or do you want something cuter?

When are you closing sign-ups? I'll keep looking to see what I can find.

 

[morgansmom2000]

Holly, what if you make it groups of 5 and you won't get one of your own back? You know, I send in 4, I get 4, but I don't get one of my own? Does that work? I'm getting confused with my Baba Booey Math.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I found small ones at the grocery store. I bought 5, just incase.
I know where I can find the large ones, just need to get there.

So please put me in both groups.

 

[TinkerBean]

Me, Me, pick me...

both groups - I especially want to be in MM2000 homemade teapot bag group (am I being to blatant

This is fun...

 

[PinballFamily]

Me, Me, pick me...

Hey, what are you still doing up? Heavily medicated, perhaps????????

 

[TinkerBean]

Hey - heavily medicated doesn't always = sleep I wish it did...

So you gonna join huh? You know you what to...

And get your sorry ar$e to bed to missy

hope the brakes weren't a killer

Nah - I'll take a pass on this swap - some crazya** local woman gave me an insane number of Land O'Lakes grocery bags and Alli weight loss bags - isn't this a contradiction? !!!!!! And I still always forget to take them with me when I shop. UGH!

I picked up the van tonight and DH will go over in the morning with the credit card to pay the mechanic...I don't want to know how much the new brakes will cost...

I'm up answering DIS PMs - I posted several coupons that I'll mail out to folks - and then took a break to watch some tv and then couldn't log back in to the DIS, and the messages piled up! It just isn't my day...

 

[mum of two pirates]

I was in seattle for 3 days at a confrence and no internet in my room. ugg. Anyway I went shopping for bags. I got

purple babies r us tall and whide big r's on it
4 monkey ones-kids
4 animal ones-kids
3 light green group health becouse they reminded me of dis green (not ex)
6 old navy ones with a flag on them
1 a playboy bunny
1 black and white pattern
1 brown and blue pattern
I can also get big ones with fall colored maple leaves and then ones with blue sky and white clowds if someone would like them let me know.
I would love one with lady bugs and one with horses and disney ones- I even would do a private trade for them with someone.


I would like in 2 big bag groups please. I will try to find my camera (missing for a week now) and post pic of them. I have trader joe ones I use and love the palm tree and surf boards on them. I have someone going back to seattle that could get more trader joe ones if someone wants them, let me know. I cant wait. Mum

Of course, now I'm feeling pressured to do realllllly good stuff

glad to have you join us Stephanie! i'll put you in the large group. let me know if you want the small group too!
i have not thought of a close sign up date. i'll have to think about that today and update the original post.

i feel like such crap right now that my head is foggy. what are you saying? you send in 4 get 4 but not your own right? i think there is enough of us playing that you won't get your own back. maybe.
