Purse made from t-shirt and extra fabric
I used a tee shirt from a little kids section and about a half yard of fabric. The amount is changeable based on the size of the purse you want and material of the original shirt. Mine was a thiner material so I made an inner bag for it.

Step 1
First take the shirt and turn it inside out and sew the bottom edge together (or if it's a longer shirt and you want you can cut strips along the bottom and tie them together to seal the edge)
-
Step 3
To make the inner bag take a rectangle of fabric which folded in half is a little bigger then the size of the bag wanted and sewed together the seams and turn it right side out, then fold down the top edge and sewed it to make a prettier seam. DO NOT SEW IT CLOSED!

Step 5
For the strap take about 2-3 inches (depending on how thick of a strap you want) and fold it in half. Sew the edges together about a 1/8-1/4in from the edge (not the folded edge). Then pull the fabric through so the seam is on the inside.

Step 7
You can either sew the ends of the strap together and then sew it to the bag, or just skip strait to sewing it to the bag.

Step 8
Depending on the material used for the strap you may or my not need to sew a type of string to the strap to keep it from stretching too much when full.
