Durable shopping



So you go to your supermarket to by vegetables or fruits. What do you put those oranges or apples in? Plastic bags most likely. Not very eco-friendly unless you reuse them (which is not very likely since they tend to break easily).

But there is an alternative: reusable bags. I've seen these on the market for some time but you have to go to special stores to get them. I wanted mine to be personal so I looked through my wardrobes and found this old see-through curtain fabric. I combined this with some leftover scraps from an old sewing project to make some nice reusable and durable bags. And since the fabric is lightweight it doesn't add to the weight of the fruits. Easy to make and wonderful to use!
