It is imperative that we stop using single use plastic bags. I am selling reusable bags made from denim jeans on Etsy. They are $25.00 each but if you give me the jeans to use, it’s only $15.00. It’s a great deal. These bags are fabulous and will serve you well for years.
If you are a sewer, here are the directions to make one for yourself:
Cut along both edges of side seam.
Save flat seam to use as handles
Cut 20″ length from hem of both legs
Square off edges
Cut one piece from the waistband down that includes a pocket. Piece from the extras to make it 20″ in length.
Sew all of the pieces together.
Center pocket. Stitch along bottom. Stitch a triangle into each side of bottom. Add handles and a label.
