Reusable Grocery Bags Made From Pillow Cases
A few weeks ago we stocked up on pretty pillow cases at our thrift store on 50% off everything day. Today we finally got around to re -purposing them into grocery bags.
We used 2 pillow cases per grocery bag.
First off use a seam ripper and take top of pillow case off or just cut it off.
Take this top piece you cut off and cut it in half. These will be your straps.
Pick out some pretty colored thread for your project!!
Fold strap pieces in half (with pattern on the in inside) and sew the ends together.
Now take the two pillow cases and turn the one you will be using for the lining inside out. Stuff that one inside the outer one.
Now either sew the two pillow cases together at the top or just fold it down as far as you like to show the liner on the outside of the bag and sew. Don’t forget to sew on your straps!
Presto–really big and sturdy grocery bags!!
So easy-I even managed to make the blue one all by myself!!
