crocheted pattern using recycled grocery bags

You can make neat seat pads for your outdoor furniture, and even rugs for your porch with plastic bags, and they don't rot or get moldy. When they get dirty -- just from sitting outside -- all you have to do is hose them off!

Here in the park in FL there are a couple of ladies who make these to sell. I am #5 in line waiting to purchase a tote bag for my sewing craft bags. They are really pretty and neat looking. Barbara in FL

Oh, gosh, I'll have to collect bags again! Thanks for this pattern.

Just make sure that they are not from Tesco, they just break up after a while. Shirley

Howdy!

Ah, the '70s are back.

These were big, along w/the crocheted plastic bread bag hats, esp. w/ the beer can inserts, w/ so many of the Winter Texans, back in the 1970s. Became popular again in the late '80s, late '90. Every 10 years, another plastic bag crochet trend swings by... . ;-D

Howdy!

Use old t-shirts; a bit tougher to cut into strips but very durable.

R/Sandy- wishing all the plastic bags would biodegrade, soon

Excellent idea! I cringe to think anybody would start getting plastic bags again from the store just so they can crochet up a bag. We've worked hard to take our own reusable bags with so we don't get paper or plastic anymore.
