This is a way to repurpose large dog food bags. This was a Christmas present for my brother. Still have the top half to make another shopping bag for him.

Great way to recycle. I make bags from Kool-Aid jammers. Kids like them for school things. Happy Stitching :-)

I had to look up Kool-aid jammers. Next time you make one, please post a picture, I would like to see your bag, I can imagine they are very cute.

A great looking bag "for Him". Would work for grocery bag for all of us. I'm too lazy to sew, but I have recycled some of my plastic cat food bags by stuffing them with 3 stacked stadium cushions (live near a college football town). Use these as kneelers in the garden. I've told several gardening buddies about this and save bags for them.

That is a good idea. I might try that with the dog food bag and an old pillow. Thanks for the tip.

I have an old bed pillow that didn't make it to the garbage this week. Let me know if you are interested.

I have small bags to do this with, however yours is so good, I may need to save a larger bag.

Do you have a pattern or did you just wing it? I'm intrigued.

No pattern just winged it. If you are interested, I will be glad to share how it is made. I am still trying to figure the best way to make a bag from the top half.

I would, but the way things are going, I will probably never get around to it. Thanks for offering though.

Great idea, I just tossed a bag. Never thought of recycling the bag.

I have tossed many too but decided they are too good to throw away with the bags being waterproof, strong, and a bag men will use.

Sew cleaver. Well done, sis. (I have a couple of bird food bags.)
