  Step 1

  This is from the original one I made using an old Christmas sock. But my lovely man laughed and stated he would never use it so I came up with a happy neutral which is the cover picture above.

  Harmony restored.

  Step 2

  This sock lost it's mate to the Dryer Monster.

  Cut the heel out of that sock.

• 

  Step 3

  I worked with the end piece first.

  Stretch it as you sew it so that you'll be able to fit your bag in it later.

  Being a risk taker and incredible lazy, I sewed the hem with the string inside.

  (After doing a few, it's worth it to do this step properly and make the hem first then draw through the string.)

• 

  Step 4

  Sew the booty to the inside of the reusable shopping bag. A firm stitch, about 1/4 inch.

  This will make sure you never lose your cover.

  Sew it on the back, exactly in the middle.

• 

  Step 5

  Fold up your bag in half twice and roll up.

  Flip the cover over the top and draw the string.

  Step 6

  I added a carabiner so that I can hook them on my shopping cart and/or somewhere I won't forget in my car to remind me to grab them.

  Even this sad little Christmas sock has received several compliments. I think the new one will be a hit.

  I have an even smaller one I keep in my purse for unexpected purchases.

  Hope you enjoy!
