In reply to suzieseaton. Hello Suzie, I like your idea of using bias to make the double fold and to use scrap fabric for the bottom. I'm sure you have the prettiest veggies bags :)

I really like this idea of recycling reusable produce bags. I went steps further by making several bags doubling the tulle sewing double fold bias binding along the seams and using 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon to match. I then went another step further by sewing a piece of (scrap)vegetable print fabric to the bottom or top to show what vegetables. Works great and the bags seem to be slightly stronger. I have bought mesh fabric that is washable and plan to make more reusable vegetable bags. Thanks for the great idea. I already use cloth reusable grocery bags. Love it.

Great idea, thanks. I already use shopping bags but just hadn't thought about making the bags for produce. Well done

Thank you for writing the instructions in 2 languages!!! I can hardly wait to find the strong tulle so I can make the reusable veggie and fruit bags. I am excited to peruse your site for more great patterns. Thanks again.

In reply to Debbie. Hello Debbie, your are right. Recycling fabric to make them is even better.

Be even more eco-friendly and make these bags from old net curtains…

In reply to Katie. My first intention was also buying some...but the only ones I could found were quite expensive! Sewing them was a better option, very simple and money saving! Have fun sewing Katie!
