Pillowcase Grocery Tote Plus

Taking the pillowcase grocery tote a step further...After sewing yesterday and last night, I was suffering from a back muscle spasm (which I get a lot) that wouldn't quit and continued today somewhat so I just sat, relaxed, watched TV tonight, and embellished. My back seems to be better now. This commercial pilloqcase wasn't made like most so I got thinner handles out of this one.

I've had this pillowcase for I know over 15 years, maybe even 20 or more so It's definately vintage. Now I have a "free" vintage tote.

My Last T-Shirt Tote

This will be my last t-shirt tote that I'll make for awhile. I'm ready to move on to something else fun to make. But, I learned how to neatly turn a flat tote into a box tote by viewing the video in my last post.

T-Shirt Totes

I ran across THIS YouTube video yesterday and decided to rid my closet of a couple of t-shirts I never wear, but still like. I did, however, cut out my sleeves and neck carefully and jazzed them both up a bit too. I also used a zig-zag stitch rather than a staight stitch. I doubt I'll use mine to haul groc. in. I plan on using mine to tote my junk from one place to another. That is except my library books. I'm sure they both would hold them as I stitched the bottom twice, but the books would probably stretch the totes all out of shape.
