Hello Hello!!
Today is the last day of the CIG Earth Day Blog Hop. If you just ended up here, make sure you go back to the beginning of the hop at Create It Green.
Today I have a craft non-scrapbook related. I read about this years ago and with the kick of recycled bags, I thought it was the perfect idea for Earth Day. I am going to show you how to make your own bags to bring to the grocery store. All you need is a T-SHIRT and sewing machine.
STEP 1: Cut off the sleeves… it is best to keep the the seam to reinforce the bag
STEP 2: Cut the top out… I use a plate as a guide.
STEP 3: Sew the bottom… turn the shirt inside out and pin. Because I wanted to make the bag wider at the bottom I pin the sides in see the second picture. But you can also just sew it straight across.
STEP 4: You’re DONE!!!… Turn it right side out and you have a new bag to take to the store.
This is a great way to start being Green today!!!!
REMEMBER… Here at A LITTLE DASH OF… I will be giving out a prize of my own!!! I will be drawing a name at random tomorrow, Monday.
