Day 11: DIY Save the World Bags
Today, I wasn’t feeling very fashionable with all the housekeeping the fella and I had to do. I also had to take a much-needed trip to the grocery store. I had a bunch of T-shirts that were stained, faded, and/or stretched out and cluttering up my stash.
Shirts that have seen their heyday!
I turned them inside-out and sewed the bottom hem closed.
Stitch it!
Then, I turned the shirts right-side out and chopped off the sleeves and neck hole.
Shopping Bags!
My plan is to turn the unwearable T-shirts Revente’s Last Call gets in into shopping bags for their customers to take home and reuse. 🙂 I decided to test my new bags out. Could they hold all my heavy groceries?
Groceries!
Yup! My new bags worked just fine. 🙂 The checkout guy thought they were really cool, too! 🙂

I love reusable bags almost as much as I love this idea!!!
That is SUCH an excellent idea! I’m ALL about reusing and recycling and only use my own grocery bags so I’m LOVING this idea – totally going to copy you! Now we’ll all be carrying cool shopping bags! Maybe it will spark a trend!
I would LOVE to see more people in Publix toting their own tshirt bags! 🙂 Glad you like ‘em!
Where do you find the time to do all this?! Very impressive, and a great idea.
Oy…I’m really not sure. I haven’t been to the gym in far too long though! :/ I’m glad you like the bags!
my coworker suggested making some of these bags as gift bags for the childrens hospital. i would love to help with a proj like that if u have the time!
I could definitely make the time for the children’s hospital. If you’re out Wed. night, we’ll talk. 🙂
Excellent idea!! Both the bags and doing such a great service for Revente’s Last Call
