Earth Day 2010

We went to Walmart today and after putting away all the

groceries there was a huge pile of plastic sacks covering

the entire kitchen. So I decided Manni and I needed to

do a little Earth Day project. . . .

I had all of these cute mini T-shirts (from college) in the

Goodwill pile that I can't wear anymore after losing my

flat tummy and finding countless stretch marks.

(Thank you Manni & Soren)

So, we sewed my shirts into reusable shopping bags. Just

sew your T-shirt closed along the bottom edge and then

cut the sleeves off and widen the neck hole. You don't

have to sew the raw edges on the T-shirts if it is the type

of knit that rolls when you stretch it. I actually let Manni

(3 years old) help me sew the bottom closed. He was

ecstatic about learning to use the sewing machine.

This is a way better use of my cute T-shirts than sending

them off to the Goodwill. Now I get to use them forever!
