It’s In The Bag!

April 25th, 2008. Filed under: Sewing on Saturday.

Since Earth Day was this week, we are going to have links to reusable grocery bags.  I’ve been trying to use them, but need a few more.  No matter how hard I try, I end up coming home with several of the plastic bags.  If you’ve been reading my previous posts, you know that I’m a regular reader of Fake Plastic Fish.  Beth is trying to live a plastic free life against tremendous odds.  Because of her example, I’ve been trying to cut down on my plastic consumption as well as being generally more responsible with recycling.  That said, there are many reusable bag patterns out there, and I’m going searching for them.  Try some of them out and let me know how you did.  Please share some of your patterns with  us.
