Made from colourful cotton with a tiny star at the centre - because you are a total star if you use these instead of single use plastic bags - these produce bags are big enough to fit a bunch of bananas or a handful of potatoes, they only weigh 30g and you can pop them in the wash when they get dirty.

And they are the perfect meditative, quick, satisfying, watching Netflix make that will continue to make you feel good every time you get them out and use them.

I created this pattern for my brother’s partner Bonnie. 
She is an amazing person who has a passion for and the will to change how we treat our environment.
In particular she works very hard to educate people on how much rubbish we make with disposable items like drink cups, takeaway containers and single use utensils, and shows them there are way better options available.

So with this is mind I wanted to make her something reusable and useful but still fun and so the Tiny Star Produce Bag was born.
