Make your own reusable grocery bags

a handknitted reusable grocery bagBack in July, I wrote about my own efforts to carry reusable bags to the grocery store. In that post, I confessed that my reusable bag purchasing habit was potentially canceling out the effectiveness of using those bags, as I kept buying new ones. I'm happy to state that I've gotten that buying bug under control and that I am now using and reusing the same bags (although the one I took to the grocery store today has a funky, spoiled milk smell going on. Scrubbing may be in order).

However I do still long for a new bag or two and happily the Green Home at Apartment Therapy has come to my rescue with a post about ways to make your own grocery bags. They've got links to bags you can knit and bags you can sew. This is very good incentive for me to dust off my Aunt Flora's long-neglected sewing machine and see if I can't make very own, unique grocery bags.
