    I think the grocery tote would make an awesome teacher gift!! I’m really interested to see the belt bag, b/c they can call it what they want but I think it’s still going to look like a fanny pack. :)

    Ohhh I love the fabric they chose! I agree with Jess, the grocery tote would make a great teacher gift! I’m a teacher and I know a lot of teachers who use reusable grocery bags to carry their stuff back and forth.. why not give them a pretty grocery bag?

    I was just talking about a belt bag and how useful they can be. And Grocery bags are wonderful too ~ funny, I was just at the Sisters Quilt Show and bought the very same fabric, except in green!

    I’ve made three of these grocery totes already! Love the design because it’s so sturdy and functional. I’ve been using them as gift bags for baby shower gifts — filling them with receiving blankets, appliqued onesies and some favorite baby bath products. They’ve been a big hit! Love the fabric choices!

    The belt bag is perfect for me right now, I’m on crutches :( and I could use a hands-free bag! If only I could sew, I had knee surgery and unfortunately it’s on my sewing leg. Why didnt I think of that before I had surgery?! Maybe I can get my grandma to make me one…

    Wow, a grocery tote made out of Wrenly. That might be the prettiest bag ever made to carry groceries!

    The gathered round pillow with the covered center button takes me back to my high school days in Home Ec class!

    That grocery tote would make a great gift for some of the ladies in my granny’s nursing home. They love to pack and unpack a bag and this is the perfect size.

    I love tote bags and have made several for work, sewing, library books etc. You can never have to many.

    Anything made with Wrenly is a winner with me, but it’s always fun to see the alternate choices, too. Thanks.
