Repurposed, Reusable T-Shirt Shopping Bag Event
People celebrate Earth Day in April many different ways, but my favorite way to honor the day is to pass along some ways that sewing can help you repurpose, reuse, and recycle.
I'll be offering a really fun recycling drop-in-and-sew project here in Chicagoland; repurposing an old tee into a reusable shopping bag. We'll start with an old tee (the bigger the tee, the bigger the shopping bag)...
...and with a few cuts and a few quick stitches, you'll end up with a roomy, reusable shopping bag...
...that folds up into a small, portable package!
These bags are perfect to keep around for those quick shopping trips to the supermarket or drug store, or for a little Saturday afternoon shopping. Keep a few in your car to save yourself from bringing home any more plastic bags, and make some as gifts for friends and family.
