Can you believe this is really good looking reusable sandwich bag was once an old shirt, a piece of scrap cloth and a clean Ziplock bag?

How cute. I love it when old stuff are brought back to live as a new and so reusable item.

So gorgeous, you’d want to bring it to work Every. Single. Day.

The bag just folds up and snaps shut with a piece of velcro

The inside of the bag is a gallon size Ziploc bag (cut apart)

It’s a breeze to make, doesn’t take much time at all. Best thing is, you can just drop it in the washing machine, and then hang it up to dry in time for the next use.

I love the idea of reusing, reducing and recycling just like any other tree hugging Joe, but this, my friend, is a bit extreme. But it’s too funny not to share.

What is it?

It’s a video of a cheapskate genius cutting away the crotch of his old underwear to fashion it into a sports bra. I shouldn’t show this to my husband. He might actually think it’ll work, thus saving him tons of money.

Me? What would I do with an old unwanted underwear? I’d cut the thing up and use it as a rag. Maybe to wipe an engine oil stains out. Yeah, it’s boring, nothing what that outrageous guy is doing, but that’s just me.

I love the 3 Rs. Reuse, reduce and recycle. Among the 3, I love the idea of reusing an item multiple ways. Hubby doesn’t say it, but I know he loves the idea of me saving him tons of cash as well!

So, when I came across this Sharon Sews sewing tutorial that shows how to make an outfit within 2 hours that a woman can wear 6 different ways, I knew it’s something I had to blog about.
