I have put together a Squidoo lens full of excellent tutorials for making reusable shopping bags.

Lots of fun to make and use.

Hi Sandre,

I have always loved the American flag and this bag reminds me of it.

Thanks for the link! It looks like a very sturdy bag and fairly simple to make. I've made a few bags and purses with nylon thread (you can use "mason's line" from the hardware store if you don't mind the limited color selection). The nylon is easy to work with, comes in various sizes and is REALLY strong! I've also made a few produce bags using my scrap cotton from a pattern a friend found on the internet. Great way to use up scrap!

My nylon thread source if you want to use it:
