I have bought the $1 Woolies or K Mart shopping bags and made them into good strong bags for carrying small sewing machines, sewing gear, and fabric, plus the usually shopping, gym gear.
I just put a contrasting fabric in the middle of the handles, which I just sew in a square, very easy and you have a strong bag. I sew the fabric on both sides, for good colour.
Have fun.
