SEW-Knit & Walk bags

In August I was about to run out of plastic shopping bags for my knit and walk projects. They were the perfect size and lasted a long time. When they wore out for that use I used them for when I went on litter walks and picked up trash around here. So they banned them practically everywhere and I had to figure out something. "light bulb" went on and I grabbed the too small tee shirts in my collection and  three tank tops that were worn out and itchy. I got out the sewing machine and sewed the bottoms shut on all. Perfect!
The tank tops were most uncomfortable at the shoulder seam that was sewn together with a plastic thread and interfacing grrrr.
