"Hi. We are going to show you how to make a grocery sack holder today. Something to do with all those grocery sacks you get at home and you don't have any where to put them. So you just end up shoving them under the sink or in a drawer. I am going to give you a neat way to be able to put them away and actually have it look something cute. The first thing you need to do is pick out your material. This is a fun project to try one of the novelty materials out. My grandma is actually in to circuses so this is what she picked out. She has been asking me to make her one so I am going to do that for her today. This is the one that I have that actually I am going to be repairing because I need to fix my elastic on it. That goes to show you you can use all different kinds of fabric. You can make patterns up like we just did this one, a video on this one. You can do a different patterns and make that in to it. Or you can just try different blocks and piece them together that way. All you are going to need to do is just get it down to the size that it needs to be when you are done. But you can put together pretty much any kind of pattern that you want. It doesn't necessarily have to be highly washable because it?s only going to have grocery sacks in it. But you do want something that?s not going to be white would be kind of pushing it. Because if you don't want to have to wash it all the time, you don't want to have your grubby hands making it look gross either. So, after you get your material ready, then we will be ready to get started."
