I made myself some grocery totes, too. I didn't use sheets though but bought some yardage from the 2nd hand store. They are great! Sturdy, and and bigger than the plastic bags that the stores have -- though sometimes I put too much in and then they are pretty heavy -- but they don't rip and fall apart at least. Even if they get dragged in the dirt, just a spin through the washer and they are bright and cheery again... I love them. I am planning to make them from my friends this year as their birthdays/anniversaries/christmas comes along... I am also making some (my goal is 20) to give to the local women's shelter.
I may have to resort to purchasing 2nd hand store sheets to use for that many of them!

Very clever! I inherited some yardage from my grandmother (and hubby's grandma) that I'll NEVER use (but am too cheap to throw away.)
I should make a few bags. Thanks for the inspiration.

PS You have to forgive me. I still am carrying around your DVD's in my Library Bag.
Monday I have to mail a birthday present, I'll slip them in the mail too.
