Super cute DIY grocery bag holder!

Now for those who know me, I'm not a sewer. When I took Home Ec in highschool, I was the one watching out the window at the guys playing P.E., wishing I was playing too. LOL I'm a sports fanatic.

I have nothing against sewing, per se, just never have had a machine, and was always more interested in other things!

So with my Grandma being here, I asked her to help me figure out one of these bag holders!

All one needs for this project is some fabric, ( I got a yard, but ended up having a lot left over) elastic, pins, coordinating thread, & a sewing machine!

Here we go!
First I folded the sides over and pinned them.
Then sewed it to make the seam to have an opening wide enough for the elastic..

I felt so powerful. hahaha

Then I got my elastic and put a safety pin on it to insert it through the hole,

And after the elastic is all in,

sew the end of the fabric over the elastic so it stays.

Then take the two sides, put them together (inside out) and sew those together before the white part, so it's hidden.

Then take a piece from the rest of your fabric and fold it over and sew it to make a strap.

Sew the strap onto the bag, making a square by turning the fabric as you go.

And there it is! I can't wait to get back to my house so I can put it to good use! :)
