I made this bag for a contest but alas, it was rejected, because I didn't use one of the digitiser's designs.

The materials are all natural except for the bead and floral embellishments.
The bag exterior is made from Hessian, the lining is made from unbleached Calico and the straps are cotton webbing.
The embroidery is done using natural Rayon thread and the whole bag is stitched together using cotton thread.
The bag measures 12.25 inches wide by 13.5 inches high by 5 inches deep.
The webbing straps are a very comfortable 2 inches wide by 23.5 inches long and continue underneath the base of the bag for added support to carry heavier groceries.
The central design, excluding text, is by Carolyn Faulk, http://www.carolyndesigns.com/index.html it is called Summerdream but I searched her web site inside out and couldn't find it anywhere.

I digitised the text myself using Xpressive software.

I am very proud of my first attempt at making a functional and attractive grocery bag.
Thanks for peeking. hugs n roses to all, Meganne
