Produce Bags Anyone?

Even though we have managed to stop collecting plastic shopping bags, we have yet to stop gathering produce bags- which are wasteful and don't help things to keep. I have been working on for myself a little mesh #....for shopping, not as attire. :) Just waiting for the material to arrive to make enough to shop with. Shopping bags are popping up in most major stores, but not the produce bags. The one I designed for myself is made from organic cotton mesh with a braided bamboo cording. I can wet the bag itself for a little moisture with out fear of chemicals- all organic natural color cotton, or I could even put a little wet towel in there for extra wetness. I'm considering making some little organic towels cut to size for the bags. After reading Crunchy Chickens post yesterday,(or the day before- I think I lost a day- it happens- don't judge)and the feedback she got, I realized that this is an issue for a lot of people. There is not a whole lot out there available. I could probably make them for a few dollars a bag, depending on size, Runti-Jumbo. I am def. going to make one big enough for apples. The few I have seen can not hold enough to keep my kids in fruit for a day, let alone a week. Is this something people would be interested in? After my material comes I will prob run 1 or 2 on etsy to see if there is a response. Any suggestions? Needs? Wants? Tell me all of your produce dilemmas.

Oh! I hope you read your comments from older posts!

I would definitely purchase larger produce bags from you off of Etsy!

Let me know when/if you post them and where to find them on Etsy and I'll be making a purchase!
