I make bags from old blue jeans. I cut the legs off to use as straps. I embellish them with beads and buttons and lline them with colorful fabric to be used as purses. Without the embellishments they make great grocery bags because they are so sturdy. Annie sherlene 13 Apr, 2008 Love it! How will you make the scarf out of the sleeves, BTW? bellem 11 Apr, 2008 I saw this great idea on the show and couldn't wait to put it to use. My I sewed the bottom of the shirts and my husband cut off the arms and neck. We are the hit of our grocery shopping trips. One of the baggers thought we handed him a pile of laundry until we showed him that they are bags for our groceries. Jaspar 24 Feb, 2008 I love this idea. I have made 3 so far. My son came home one day with a [filtered word] in the middle of his shirt. I patched it up with one of the sleeves before turning it into a bag. These fit great in my purse. Now I want to make a scarf out of the sleeves that I cut off. ConnieLyn 8 Jan, 2008 What a great grocery bag. Now I don't take the store's plastic which is great for our country. Thankfully I have gone from an extra large to a medium T shirt and night shirt. I have volunteered to make many more for my Fibromyalgia support group
