Cut webbing the length you need and measure the same distance fron both edges on both sides and pin.

Tomato bags for sharing our garden

Every year we share tomatoes and use those plastic bags from the store. Now we have quilted totes the perfect sizetonhold 3 or 4 tomatoes. They stand up and hold their sale.
I even figured out he to sew on the handles to prevent fraying ad it actually made the handles stand up at attention.

I tried to make the zakka organizer and had to remove the zipper because I couldn't get the bias on!
When all finished I liked it better without the zipper and used Velcro.
