My first reusable shopping bag got a smallish fix this afternoon. I bought this bag at my then local natural foods store and restaurant, Follow Your Heart in Canoga Park, California. I bought it just after I moved into my first apartment. That was so last century, before John and I were even engaged. Follow Your Heart had the best vegetarian burgers and shakes. Oh well the whole truth was everything was wonderful and tasty. Milk free donuts in the 1980’s awesome. Carob everything to my heart’s content. I was not allowed chocolate, nitrates or nitrides back then. I still skip the nitrates and nitrides, they cause so many migraines. They also have a wonderful cookbook to make things at home.
But I digress. I got my first reusable shopping around earth day, I got my second on my next payday. Yes, I still have both of the bags. They are a bit faded now. One is starting to show some age with the beginning of fabric breaking down. I patched the bottom with a piece of curtain fabric, leftover from dog pillows. I am not sure if I should quilt the bottom. My main problem is I forgot how to program the memory on my sewing machine. I guess I will find the manual to morning. My handy work is below.
