I have a drawer full of T-shirts that I don't wear any more! Great idea!

1. Too cool! I psoted the link in Frugal Living & DIY groups. It's so clever!

2. And I'll cross post my response!

I need to make some from heavy fabric I've got on hand. But these would be perfect for toting the delicate items like bread, eggs, tomatoes and such. I keep a big tub in my car trunk so I can isolate those bags for the trip home. These would make them visible at a glance.

I've got a serger that I don't use nearly enough. These would stitch up in a jiffy.

3. Wasn't another DU'er looking to make a tote/bag for his sister's birthday?

IIRC.

Gosh, I can't remember who it was now! Still, this would be a good project for him.

Great link -- Can't wait to give it a try!

Thanks! :)
