Introduction

Don't throw away your tote bag just because it has a hole. When a tote bag is ruined, people tend to throw it away even if everything else is in mint condition.  This is an alternative to throwing away perfectly good tote bags to replace them with newer ones that will go through the same cycle. By only using the most basic of sewing materials, a tote bag may be brought back to new conditions.

Caution: Be careful in using the needle as you may prick yourself causing an injury.
