Onion/Potato Storage Bags

[asemery]

I made these bags for storing onions or potatoes. A drawstring at the top of the bag opens to add items. The slits, outlined in red, allow you to take out items without opening the drawstring. Tony

'Tis a big improvement over the cheap plastic net-bags for onions and spuds at grocery stores .

The slits make all the difference . How do you make them in the net construction process?

Thank you for all the kind words. I really enjoy talking about net making.
When I originally posted these nets (another forum) I challenged interested parties to make their own. I showed the close-ups of the slits as a hint to the construction. Here is the solution to the challenge.

I see...very interesting . Net-making is an underestimated part of Bushcraft if you ask me .

I agree with that startement. In my camping days I always carried a 3'x4' bit of netting. It was used to carry items and to keep clutter and food off of the ground. It made a (slightly unsteady) camp seat when suspended from the ends. I never used for fishing but it would have been well suited for that purpose. Tony
