Make your own Go Green shopping bags

Make shopping bags from your old, but good condition, tee shirts.  All you need to do is sew the bottom of the shirt securely.  If the neck isn't big enough to drop in your items, cut it bigger and sew as necessary to prevent additional ripping.  Take craft twine, old belt, rope or what ever is comfortable for you and run it through the arms of tee shirt for your handle or you could use the arms for your handle.  If you don't have any tee shirts, go to your local Salvation Army and they'll let you have shirts they're not going to put out for sale.  The best bags are shirts that have pictures, emblems or sayings written on them.

It is my understanding that orgs.can sell off large amts. of fabric just as rags by weight - which then get sold off -

Are you talking about plain cotton t-shirts or a more sturdy material type t-shirt??? Please advise.
