I've made similar bags over a year ago and they are still going strong. I have no problems using them in any store I enter. I used the scrubbable mesh fabric from JoAnne's and very thin satin ribbon as it seems to slide easier when closing and, more importantly, reopening the bags. I just made some more for 'the new year' in bright colors to help liven up my shopping trips. Question about your instructions: I don't understand how you can sew over the drawstrings and expect them to move?? Perhaps there is a step missing or I don't fully understand. I did my side seams first and then the casing for the ribbon. I have the thin ribbon coming right out of one of the holes in the netting. Seems to work fine.
