Take 2 of your t-shirts and turn them into an awesome tote bag! I used a sewing machine to do this but you can aways hand sew. Sorry about the lack of photos, totally forgot to take them. So let me know what you think and i totally want to see your versions! P.s. i got this idea out of the book "108 ways to transform your t-shirt" by Megan Nicolay

Cut off the hem of both t-shirts. Then cut off 5 inches off the bottom of each shirt then cut the strip so it becomes a long rectangle.
Then through both layers cut a rectangle 14 inches by 15 inches on both shirts but make sure you keep them together
Then keeping the layers together, good sides facing in, stitch up the two sides.
Now take the 2 strips from step one and fold each side in about 1/2 an inch then fold the intierstripin half. Do this with both strips
Now take both strips and pinch both of the ends together and pull them through the tube. Without twisitng the strips pinch the 2 sides and pull them trough the tube. Pin the ends of about and inch is showing to the bag. Now sew the bottom of the bag, through all 4 layers of the strips too.
fold down the top of the bag about an inch and sew. Turn Bag inside right
Pin the straps to the bag on both sides. Sew around the entier strap. Finished! I hope that all made sense.. if you have any questions just ask!
