I keep seeing belts, that look like Martial Arts belts, at the thrift store, now I'm thinking they might be great Tote Bag handles, no need to take them apart, just cut to the right length. Thanks for inspiration!

I have 8 months to go before I retire my scrubs. I have been slowly getting my co-workers to sign squares of white fabric and I will be making a quilt for myself from the scrubs I have worn over the years incorporating their signatures. This will be my retirement gift to myself.

here is a link to a quilt I made for my DD from her old scrubs!
