\nIn principle I really like it, but some things didn’t work the way I wanted them to (see also below<\/a>) so that I didn’t finish the handle but only show how it can be made.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\nThat’s how my shopping bag looks from one side…<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n… and so from the other.
\nI used clippings from a travel brochure, so my bag is not only multicoloured but gives me even wanderlust ;-)
\n<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\nThat’s what you need:<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n
\nFirst I layered three layers of my TV guide pages.
\nI used them askew as shown in the graphic so that they don’t always touch in the same place (every large rectangle is a page from the TV guide, the smaller ones are pages cut into halves in one or the other direction).
\nI taped them rarely so that the whole doesn’t fall apart.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\nThen I just started sewing (did I mention that I’m completely unexperienced in sewing? ;-))).<\/p>\n
\nTherefore I made a mental note of some points for the next bag:<\/p>\n\n
\nI think it even best to lay and sew on a layer of transparent (non-adhesive!) foil or plastic bag, then it is also possible to wipe it on the outside with a damp cloth.<\/li>\n
\nPaper that is crinkled often get fabric-liker, so I didn’t find it bad.<\/li>\n
\nNext time I’d put a broad stripe of coloured paper over the folding line of the bag.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nNext time I will sew them from the right side because the turning was incredibly difficult and I simply couldn’t turn the corners completely.
\nThat’s why it has these chic rounded corners ;-))<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>\n
\nThat’s how my bag looks at the inside.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\nActually I wanted to make a shoulder-long black with plastic bags filled I-cord<\/a> as handle (I post-worked the photo to show you the knitting, originally it’s been completely black just as in the next photo ;-)) …<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n…but I don’t want to make it for a bag with lots of defects<\/a>.
\nYou can see here anyhow how I knotted the plastic bags together and knitted a little bit already.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\nThe bag seems to be quite robust and I wanted to try out what it can carry.
\nTherefore I stuffed 1 l juice, half a kilo of bread, 2 appels, an orange and 5 tangerines in – in short a little shopping ;-)<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\nHere I’m holding the bag with the content of the previous picture – no problems at all ;-)<\/p>\n
