I was putting away laundry today when I remembered that the last time I wore this shirt to work out I didn't like the length of it on me so I decided to make a bag out of it instead of putting it in my drawer. I am going to give you step by step instructions on how to make a T-Shirt bag, it is SO simple!
Here is the final outcome with stuff in the bag.
Read below for step by step directions.
Step One:
Lay out T-Shirt
Step Two:
Cut off sleeves, you can measure and mark, I eyeballed it instead.
Step Three:
Cut the neckline so that it has a bigger opening for your things to go into the bag.
Step Four:
Put the bag wrong side out and cut off the bottom hem of the T-Shirt
Step Five:
Sew the bottom of the bag. I used my serger because it was out and also because I love it so I use it any chance I get. You can use a regular sewing machine just the same.
Here is a view once the bottom is sewn closed.
Step Six:
Put the bag right side out and enjoy.
If you choose to go to the seventh step you can do what I did and serge the handles and the opening. If you are using a regular sewing machine you wont be doing this which is fine and not necessary, I just thought it gave the bag a little something extra.
You can use this bag for anything and everything. This bag is easily stored so it is a great grocery bag or a bag for travel if you are going to want to have a bag to play at the hotel pool. Can you tell I'm dreaming of a vacation?
