So to make grocery shopping fun I sewed a bunch of cute fabric grocery bags. Someone from church gave me boxes of fabric. She had done decorative sewing and the scraps were all different sizes and shapes. I sewed them together and didn't care if the patterns matched. One bag has about 6 different fabrics.
The pattern is one I found a couple of years ago online. Sorry I don't have a link for it but it was easy except I did change the handles a bit.
I made nine bags and have one cut out ready to sew. I personally don't really need them because I have a bit stack of cloth bags. We started using cloth bags when we lived in Taipei and they charged NT$2 (about 7 cents) per plastic bag. These bags are so much fun to use. I often receive complements from the store clerks about my bags.
I made these to have on hand for gifts so if you want one you might want to tell me when your birthday is or wait until Christmas. Do you have a favorite one?

Maybe that is why I needed to make some that will help to make grocery shopping fun. [...]
