I use this for extras that would normally be out of my budget at Christmas. I also make gifts for my large and extended family, using what I have. Australia is going one use plastic shopping bag free mid next year. I am using this as the basis of making simple market bags for a number of my family members. I have been purchasing old tablecloths in op shops for these. I am looking forward to seeing Simple cheap and easy ideas.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-30650826071158239352017-08-09T00:37:49.505-04:002017-08-09T00:37:49.505-04:00I love some of these ideas.
