White Shoulder Bag

As if I don't have enough shoulder bags!

When I cut bags to make plarn, I lay the strips in a line in the same order as the uncut bag. I tie them in order, left to right or top to bottom. I feel that makes for a more even distribution of colors. My mom sorts the strips by color. Mom would sort the pictured bag into 4 piles: white, blue, red, and blue with red. Then she would tie the strips randomly from each pile.
It takes more than 90 bags to make a shoulder bag, because most stores have so much printed on their bags that we get only 2 or 3 white strips from each instead of 12.
I've started one, but after cutting 9 bags, I only have enough to make the bottom 3 inches long. I want 9 inches for the bottom and the bag to be 9 inches tall! This is going to take a while!
