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.
I turned them inside-out and sewed the bottom hem closed.
Then, I turned the shirts right-side out and chopped off the sleeves and neck hole.
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?
Yup! My new bags worked just fine. 🙂 The checkout guy thought they were really cool, too! 🙂
I love reusable handbags, and it looks like great when our clothes is unused it is good to make a handbags to be useful.
Just reading your blog finally – only found it recently. I LOVE these bags! I’ve made several now and they are the ONLY think I use shopping. They are washable and that makes all the difference. Great blog – love your ideas!!!
I really like the USMC one, but thats bc I am a Marine! Great idea btw!
I am doing this for my neice for xmas!!! Her mom gave me tshirts she loves that dont fit anymore and i am turning them into bags so she can keep them. She is an 11 year old fashionista hippie so it should be perfect!!
Really cool idea!!!! So simple and easy to make! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
this is a great idea…
i have a bunch of t’s that i’d like to get rid of and you can only have so many t-shirt blankets!
Thanks for the inspriation!
Excellent idea!! Both the bags and doing such a great service for Revente’s Last Call
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. 🙂
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!
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!
I love reusable bags almost as much as I love this idea!!!
