Great way of reusing those plastic bags!

This is great! I so want to give it a try. But now that I use 'cloth' bags, I'd have to hit up neighbors for the plastic ones.

    What fun. Thanks for th link. I've been saving th newspaper bags which happen to be colored planning to fuse them eventually. It occurs to me that you can fold th bags into the shape that you want before fusing and therefore end up with the right shape pattern pieces.
