Reusable shopping bag with fabric from Guatemala

I got this small fabric from my friend and she told me it was something her mom got from Guatemala.  It was too small to make anything, but was large enough to make 2 of these.  One for me as a sample.  For mine, I didn’t add lining.  But it seemed a bit weak…  So I made another one with lining fabric I already had and color matched the fabric.  It is big enough for a few things and sturdy enough to put heavy items such as milk, fruits and veggies.  I like when the handle goes all the way around the bottom, so the handle won’t rip the fabric and fall off.

I would like to make a lot more with tons of remnants I have…  I just have to find the time!
