just a disclaimer, it is just a pattern, without instructions or anything else. i used it as a pattern to make my grocery bag, and i have found some YT tutorial for the instructions for the folds

It's a template.

[u/Iks_OkSS → u/themoosewhoquilts]

Yeah, pattern. Thats what i have said.

[u/themoosewhoquilts → u/Iks_OkSS]

Are you using a translator? Pattern and template aren't the same but I could see how a translator would conflate them.

[u/Iks_OkSS → u/themoosewhoquilts]

I mean pattern. It is marked, have grain direction, all of the pattern markings, seam allowance etc. It can be used as is, the user just have to decide whats the steps for making it with different fabrics

here is the gdrive folder with just a pattern. i hope it is allowed by community standards. i had no idea this bag would be this popular. i have included the picture in the folder of mine finished bag, i made it literally with the grocery bag of the size i liked, i already made 2 and planning to make more for every single person in my family as they all want one. It is not explicitly made for tyvek material, i used some leftover canvas for prototyping, and if works perfectly fine, i use mine more then a year without problems.

edit: i will add instructions for the constructions (folds and bias binding are actualy the only "hard" part of the construction) to the same folder when i have time to do that, as i can see that this as a perfect beginners pattern to start with myog, and also really can be used every single day

Literally just cut the top and bottom heat-sealed seams off a plastic grocery bag and use it as a pattern. Make a tube with “tank top” shape at one end, and cut straight across on the other end. 

The only interesting thing is the handle is twice the width of the finished appearance of it. When the side is folded in, it’s pushed inward until the handle is folded in half. Then you sew the front and back of each handle together folded like that (4 layers), and the bottom straight across (4 layers at the sides, 2 layers in the center). It is probably advisable to trim the seam allowances from all but one layer, double-fold that layer over the seam, then sew again. 

It appears the edges of the top opening are left raw, so you’d either have to use a fabric that doesn’t fray or hot-cut it/run a flame quickly across it after cutting. Or you could bind those raw edges with bias tape or a strip of knit fabric or something.

That looks super easy. You could almost trace around a tank top or another plastic bag for the pattern. It's basically same front and back, sew sideseams[ only need one sideseam if you cut on the fold or have one centre back. Sew the bottom closed and the top of the handles whilst it is laying flat, 'good' sides together and then square off the corners. Done. plus that little toggle thing at the front whch I am sure you could figure out what you wanted there. It could be as simple as velcro squares.

[u/AccidentOk5240 → u/No-Abies29]

Not quite. The bottom corner of a t-shirt bag (the name of this shape) are folded in and then the seam is sewed straight across, they’re not boxed. You can see this if you look at the disposable version. 

[u/No-Abies29 → u/AccidentOk5240]

Yes, you are correct. I did not see the 2nd image. The folded in way is also just like a plastic bag too, so it totally makes sense.

[u/Professional_You7030]

I just wanna know what the material is … that was a lie I want the template too

It looks like some weight of non-woven dyneema, my guess is something like 0.51oz/yd or 1.0oz/yd. You can find it at ripstop by the roll in various weights and colors. It behaves like a mylar sheet that is impossible to tear, but you can puncture it somewhat easily.
