Saving the planet one bag at a time.


I saw this fabulous idea. I love reusable shopping bags for the following reasons
  1. they fit way more in them than plastic
  2. they are easier to carry
  3. they can be used for so much more than just groceries
  4. they can be used again and again and again
I love these bags because they are stretchy and you can just keep putting more stuff in. If you want some you can get them on my facebook group or if you want to make your own it is sew simple.
  1. find an old T-shirt
  2. cut off the sleeves along the seam
  3. cut off the collar along the seam
  4. you may want to make the neck opening a little deeper to give you a wider opening
  5. turn inside out
  6. sew the bottom shut along the hem line
  7. DONE, now go shopping!
