MEL's On the Run Shopping Bag
MEL's On the Run Shopping Bag is a fun way to shop in style and be nicer to the environment. Display your favorite fabric and gorgeous designs while you're on the run!
One day, as MEL was looking at her growing collection of reusable and paper shopping bags, she had an idea. MEL tries her best not to use plastic bags because of the environment, but the paper bags usually don't have handles. So she went with the reusable bags you can purchase but after several uses, the handles break down and they are not pretty at all to carry.
MEL likes style and durability. Why does a grocery bag have to be boring? This beautiful bag is fun to carry and will hold up - the handles are stitched down to the bottom of the bag. The handles are guaranteed to NEVER fall off.
MEL's On the Run Shopping Bag measures 12" x 16" x 7" and features the word SHOPPING on the front. A chic diamond design and a "secret" zipper pocket is on the back - that just happens to be the exact same size as a chocolate bar! MEL sneaks her favorite treat in that pocket so when others help her put away the groceries, that stays hidden. :-)
The bag is fully lined to keep it nice and easy to clean. Create several to use on your normal grocery run or use The Groovy Letters Collection to customize the bags for any purpose.

I have made all of them except the shopping bag but I love all of them! I have learned so much. I had never made a purse before MEL's Bag of the Month Club but I won't be stopping now!!
