That is what I did...Only I made mine just one thickness..I don't like the double thickness...one layer is tons tougher than that plastic. Also I cut my handles a little thinner so they would "gather" in you hands easier. I think the double ones are too much fabric, especially if you are like me...I sometimes carry in 4 or 5 bags on one arm. Also with the plastic I usually stretch the handles just a little because I want to slip them up on my arm to carry more. So the bags I'm making will have just a little longer handles. I'll get a picture of them and post it when I get some pretty ones done...I made some out of dark check that I had extra of...they aren't real pretty. But yesterday I bought some pretty spring colors with tiny tulips.. Not what I was looking at , but that bolt kind of jumped out and hit me on the head (literally) I figured it wanted to go home with me...LOL patti

Here's a tote bag pattern: http://www.marloscrochetcorner.com/Plastic%20Bag%20tote.html Here's another one for a round tote: http://www.marloscrochetcorner.com/round%20plastic%20bag%20tote.html

OMG, shaddy. Thank you - I think. I've spent three hours going through the knitted afghans! I haven't finished yet (but it is after 2 am here, so...). And look at all the other sites - be still my heart! I thank you, even though my house-mates do not. Nor do my workmates. And the housecleaning will fall behind even further, as will my exercise regime. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Jane2 (Janey elsewhere)

I love the tote, the fabric just makes it! and I love the blog, I was wondering if anyone on the forum had a blog, I felt I'm not able to understand all the ins and outs of producing one, but a challenge from my "Guru" Sharon Boggon will probably need one. So I am thinking hard. Yours is going to be great. And your tote is great Rene
