More and more shoppers are buying canvas bags to use in place of the old "paper-or-plastic" options at the supermarket. In fact, this trend is becoming so popular that many grocery stores actually sell reusable shopping bags emblazoned with their corporate logos. These bags are extremely cheap but, for the most part, hideous.At the other end of the style spectrum, some big-name designers have launched their own lines of attractive canvas shopping bags. These bags are far prettier than those available at the supermarket check-out, but who in her right mind would spend hundreds of dollars on a sack used to transport groceries?
Which brings me to my idea.
For those of you who can sew (as opposed to me), wouldn't creating beautiful, sturdy, reasonably priced reusable grocery bags be a wonderful home-based business idea? I'm sure many environmentally conscious shoppers would be delighted to purchase lovely, well-made canvas shopping bags from an enterprising crafter.
If you can sew and have been looking for ways to put your skills to profitable use, why not give it a try? I’ll even give you three months of free advertising on this website, in exchange for a product sample. Just drop me a line at kgregg613@yahoo.com, and we'll take it from there.
So...anybody game?

I don't sew, but if you find anyone to make them, I'd love to have one with my blog logo on it. In fact, I'd like a dozen and I could use them as give-away prizes. What a terrific idea.
Thanks for the great idea! I will check out the cost and time involved. Various sturdy fabrics and etc.
Susanne, how are you thinking of applying your logo? Screenprint, iron on, or embroidered?
