Did you know you could make re-usable grocery tote bags from old t-shirts? Who knew! I brought this home from MOPs today.
All you do is cut off the collar and the armholes...
turn the shirt inside out, and sew a seam along the bottom.
And there you have it...a re-usable grocery tote bag!

Now that's what I call a great idea!!
I have seen these but wondered how easy they were for the grocery people to fill. My people usually grumble when you bring your own bags!
We keep buying the bags but we forget them just about EVERY time we go to the store!! This is a very cute reusable bag though!!
So creative... I love it!
That's super cute! I forget to bring my reusable bags every time I go :(
that is awesome! i miss MOPs. is it pretty sturdy?
cool idea...I bet this would be a fun activity for little girls...to make a bag out of their old shirts. :)
I always forget to bring them into stores, too. I'm determined to start remembering.
I bagged groceries in high school and college and, yes, they are annoying to fill. ;)
Rachael, this would be a great craft for young girls, because it only requires one straight stitch!
Christian, we miss you at MOPs, too...and on Wed. nights, and on Friday mornings...
I envisioned myself making pretty grocery tote bags but then I gave in and bought a few $.99 ones, can we say instant gratification.
This idea is so practical, thrifty, and easy. I'm going to give it a whirl! Thanks for sharing.
Easy, quick and useful - perfect! This is my kind of craft :)
What an awesome (and easy) craft not to mention a great way to recycle! Thanks for sharing with us!!
Now that, I can do. I love how it's recycling in order to recycle...and I have plenty of old t-shirts I need to re-use around here. Thanks!
That is so ingenious! I will definitely give that a go. I see you got the idea at MOPS - I have given two talks at the only MOPS in France - it's a great organisation! BTW, I got onto your lovely blog via a link on the Farm Chicks Website - I always like to know how people found my blog!
My gram took all my old Relay for Life t-shirts and made them into grocery bags for everyone this last Christmas. A Great idea!
LOVE this!!
My daughter did the same thing. She's 13 and will be THRILLED to know someone else thought of it as cool!!
