Filed Under: staying green, sewing

grocery bag made from denim shortsBefore you decide to throw away your old t-shirts, skirts and pillowcases, why not think about using them to line reusable shopping bags? Families.com gives us ideas on how to sew shopping bags from linens and jeans.

Using towels, jeans, pillowcases, old belts, and whatever else you want to recycle into the shopping bags will help to save the environment, simply because you won't be throwing away the endless supply of plastic bags that you come home with from each shopping excursion. Pure genius!! With a little sewing know-how, you can create as many shopping bags as you need, and maybe make some cool reusable bags to give your loved ones as Christmas gifts.
