It's been really cold here this week, and so we were faced with the rare task of bundling up our kids.Here's William wearing two shirts, his jacket, a hat and the mittens I sewed up the other day. They're a bit big, but he's very proud of keeping his thumb in the thumb section. He even shows me, randomly, "wook!!! Wook, my fumb!" This morning it was about 18 when I headed out to warm up the car.
And here's Aldous all bundled up in a hand-me-down outfit!!
I sort of laughed a bit when I took this outfit because I was SURE we were never going to have to use all these pieces together. Ooops!!
Grocery Bag Dispenser
I whipped up a couple of these Grocery Bag Dispensers using this tutorial.
They were easy and fast, and most of the fabric I used was free fabric. the dark red is a scrap from the Christmas outfits I had made for the kids.
A close up of the elastic opening.
The fabulous contrasting top-stitching!
I actually made these only 20" long rather than 30" because I plan to hang them where I frequently need a grocery bag: like the bathroom, or by the litter box.

I need one near my litter box too! What a great idea. I don't know WHy I couldn't think of that. Our litter box is in the (unused) dining room it's a huge plastic tub with a hole cup in top. Had to do that to keep the dogs from snacking on Kitty Cookies. AND I have tried all sorts of boxes & the cat always makes a litter trail....so this one works best for us. I guess I could hang our little bag dispenser (when I make one) from one of those command hook jobbies on the wall. I don't want anything nailed into the wall......
The boys look like Eskimos all bundled up.

Hey Sam!!
When my bag was empty I put it around the cabinet handle, slip knot style! now it's hanging and I have no hole in the wall!
OR, instead of a one piece handle, make it two piece you can tie on to stuff. :)
Hope that helps!
