Make Your Own Shopping Bag

You’ve all switched to reusable shopping bags now, right??  I have, but I’m always a little sad that the “chic factor” is blatently missing from some of the bags that I purchased through my local grocery.  And then I get a little sadder when I look online for chic options and note the price tag.  Yikes!  Here’s a way to make your own from a a pretty pillowcase, courtesy of another one of my favorite magazines, Body + Soul.  If you don’t have an old pillowcase to repurpose, Goodwill, resale and thrift shops are a great place to look for cheap ones.  You might even find some cool vintage or “retro” looks!  Intimidated by a sewing project??  If I’m even considering taking this on, it’s simple enough for ANYONE to try, trust me.  If you make one, I’d love to see pics of the finished product!  Email them to me (see the “Contact Me” tab above), or if you have a blog and post about it, give me the link in the comments (below).
