Why custom tote shopping bags

Make your own fabric shopping tote.  If your goal is to cut down on waste, or simply be kinder to the environment, this pattern will help get you started.  Choose an eco-sensitive fabric such as hemp or any heavier weight drill, duck, upholstery, canvas or linen fabric of your choice. Choose an eco friendly reusable option for your shopping.

These fabrics can withstand the rough and tumble for several years. Furthermore, these materials are available in several designs, so you are not limited to a single pattern.

Tote bags are strong and durable. They can often last you over a year if you wash them and take care of them. People use and discard an average of 700 plastic bags per person per year and only recycle 1% of these.
