If you read my previous post about my Plastic Bag Holder (LINK) you know that i have a serious plastic bag hoarding problem lol but in all seriousness I have all these bags but always forget to bring bags with me to the grocery store!

So I decided to make a small bag holder for my purse, I actually made this before I made my large tea towel bag holder, to try & not bring so many bags home again lol I have been using it for about a month & so far it is working out great!

I bought the fabric at Walmart, they sell those patterns in however big squares, so you can use any pattern or material you like, the one I used was either 100% cotton or polyester…sorry, I cannot remember.

Finally, the sewing pattern for this compact bag holder is actually a pattern for a no zipper pillow case, scaled down a lot lol

Here is the link to the sewing pattern.

If you are cheap like me, you reuse your plastic bags for many things, though you find your collection just keeps growing & growing & growing!!!

After I get a certain amount I will put a bunch in the recycle, though for those ones that I may need to use in the future I keep…but these crazy things just keep multiplying!! I tried a “life hack” from Pinterest, putting your plastic bags in an empty kleenex box…then ended up havin 3 kleenex boxes full & was still putting more in bags hanging on the cupboard door knob lol

So I finally had enough!!!

I decided to make a bag holder, turns out it is super simple & you do not need to be a sewing magician to make one! AWESOME!!!

All you need is a tea towel, needle & thread or sewing machine, scissors & thread.

Here are images I took throughout my process:
