Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

With the introduction of charges for plastic shopping bags, more people have started carrying eco-bags.

I’m sure many of you have at least one favorite eco-bag, right?

This article introduces DIY ideas for making your own eco-bags.

If you’d like to craft one using fabric you love, please take a look for inspiration.

We feature a variety of ideas, such as types that attach to a supermarket basket, shapes convenient for quick convenience-store runs, shoulder-carry designs, and versions that fold up compactly.

An eco-bag made from a furoshiki

Let’s make an eco-bag with a furoshiki! Prepare a furoshiki in your preferred color and pattern, then cut straight across two of its four corners.

With this done, fold it right sides together so the remaining corners meet, and sew the sides while creating gussets.

Then turn it right side out, and you’re done! For the handles, tie the remaining corners together after putting items inside.

You’ll use it much like when you wrap and carry things with a furoshiki as-is.

It’s easy to make, so try using a furoshiki you no longer use!
