Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Redesign!


Went to a thrift store with my friends today and bought three canvas totes. They had the usual ugly canvas tote graphics you find on such useful bags. I like cute things, I am more likely to use them if I like how they look so I also bought some kid's shirts with pictures I liked. I then cut them up and sewed them over the tote graphics, with my rather sad sewing skills. But I still like how they turned out.
Now I can go buy groceries and stuff and use neither paper nor plastic at the store, market or Sauvie AND the totes are being reused as well. How green.
And they are cute enough to use for other things too, like knitting supplies!
