Homemade Grocery Bags

Posted in Keeper of the Home

After much contemplation and hours of perusing the internet, these are the links that I have come up with that I like for my eco-friendly grocery bags:

But in the end none of these are what I ended up doing because lo and behold, dh decided to clear out his drawers and he handed me a stack of T-shirts just perfect for this:

So in just under an hour I now have about 10 T-shirt grocery sacks.  I decided to sew up the bottoms and insert a cardboard to make them more sturdy for groceries but as I found out yesterday -- they can't hold the WHOLE world and I need to watch how much goes in to them.  I was a little embrassed at first but thankfully I have children who do not see this as wierd but as in saving the environment so it was a very good thing LOL
