TUTORIAL REVIEW: Car Trash Bag

I have been wanting to make one of these since the summer, I just hadn't found the time, nor the right tutorial, and honestly didn't feel like thinking through the construction of this myself.  But, today I was cruising the web and came across this great tutorial by Some of A Kind.  This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!

I wanted  a trash bag that was sturdy and allowed for the use of a plastic insert.  I also wanted an adjustable strap.  Of course I wanted it to look nice. This fit the bill.

This project took about 45 minutes, although I'm sure now that I have one under my belt, I can cut that time by 15 minutes.

I did make a few tiny changes:
>  I wanted the straps a bit closer together, so instead of 1" in from the edges, I put them 2".

> I did not use boning.  I didn't have it on hand, but I did just get a package delivered that was held closed with this stiff plastic tie.  It was a bit tough to sew through, but my denim needle did it and it worked like a charm.  Yeah!  Another thing to reuse/recycle!

I am so excited to NOT  hear "Mommy, can you please take the garbage" while I am driving.  This little bag is now directly in front of my 5 yr old's carseat.  Yeah!!!!!  It's the little things that make me happy!
