This is an amazing idea! My late husband had hundreds of vcr tapes that are sitting upstairs in the attic. WOO HOO. Now I have something to do with them and not feel guilty!

Hi,

I started crocheting recycled bags, and it is amazing! I find it very enjoyable, and your patterns are charming.
I was looking for a new project, and found this evening bag – could you please give its pattern? I liked the idea of using a VCR tape, as I have many old casettes.

Many thanks!

Thank you for posting your information. I have been crocheting bags now for over 6 months. evening bags, tote bags, grocery and laundry totes. I also add other recycled items such as t-shirts and those grocery bags we all seem to have a ton of each time we go to the market.

Does any one know of a non-profit co-op that would accept these bags ( earth friendly)for like minded shoppers. I have 60 or more.

any info helpful
