Sweet Pea Crochet....Everyday: Go Green

In all of my crochet endeavors, there is one thing that I will no longer crochet. The bag keeper. Why? Because I refuse to use plastic shopping bags. Once discarded, plastic bags take many, many years to decompose, and they are harmful to animals and the environment as a whole. I have been searching for alternatives, and can you believe it? I found a great alternative. Where? Etsy, of corse! lol

AmandaMade is a fabulous Going Green Shop! The shop has a wonderful section called "Making Green Fashionable", featuring handsewn, large and roomy shopping bags. Bags are sewn of cotton, making them very durable, with a lining inside, and are larger than shopping bags offered at the grocery store. They are very fashionable too...the choices of patterns and colors make them lively and great to take on your next shopping trip.

Here are some wonderful bags offered at AmandaMade.......

Aren't they great?
