Making your own cotton mesh produce bags is a great way to reduce waste and be more environmentally friendly. Here are the steps to make your own cotton mesh produce bags:
Materials needed:
- Cotton mesh fabric (you can buy this at fabric stores or online)
- Sewing machine or needle and thread
- Scissors
- Ruler or measuring tape
- Pins
Steps:
- Measure and cut the cotton mesh fabric to the desired size for your produce bag. A common size is around 12 inches by 15 inches, but you can adjust to your preference.
- Fold the fabric in half, with the right sides facing each other, and pin the two sides together.
- Sew along the pinned sides using a straight stitch, leaving the top open.
- Cut off any excess fabric and trim the corners.
- Turn the bag right side out.
- Fold the top of the bag down about 1 inch and pin in place.
- Sew around the top of the bag, leaving a small opening to thread your drawstring through.
