We're happy to introduce a one-size-fits-all pattern to the BurdaStyle Pattern Database, because not only will it fit you- it will fit in your bag as well! The Charlie Reusable Grocery Bag Pattern is BurdaStyle's contribution to the movement to reduce the consumption of plastic bags- which is especially high in the United States! Do your part to help by making this bag for you, your friends, your family, your neighbors. . . anyone you know who could stand to say Bye Bye to the boring and bad plastic shopping bag! Best thing about it?!- It has a pouch inside so the bag can tuck into itself! Now you can carry it with you everywhere!

Download the pattern here! Learn how to make it by following the simple instructions in this How To and be sure to post pictures in the Creations section.

P.S. Check out this version of Charlie, specially embroidered by our friends Jenny Hart and Sublime Stitching!

    hemming pants and ordering fabric

    That's excellent! Just what I've been looking for.
    I'm gonna make one for every person I know I wonder if I can find a Captain Planet print to make it in?

    Thanks for the wicked pattern!

    I guess there's some problem with the Most Recent category...

    Charlie my new love

    Thank you for this great pattern. Here in Germany the reusable grocery bags are established about 20 years ago, but only the ivory cotton one without any design on it.

    taking a break

    Great! I will definately make some for myself and my friends. Over the last two years most big grocery shops in Belgium have stopped giving free plastic bags. They sell reusable bags, but I'd prefere one I made myself now :)

    Brilliant! I love it! I also intend to make a few for friends - SO much better than anything I've seen for sale!
