Description

Make a shopping tote from an old graphic tee.

Instructions

  1. Small 13118

    Get your supplies ready and lay out the tshirt and plastic bag nice and flat.

  2. Small 13119

    Cut the bottom of the bag off but leave the bag folded.

  3. Small 13120

    Lay the plastic bag on the t-shirt.

  4. Small 13121

    Fold the side hem of the shirt in to replicate the plastic bag.

  5. Small 13122

    Seem along the t-shirt’s hem.

  6. Small 13123

    Cut the sleeves off.

  7. Small 13124

    I leave the section where the sleeve is attached to the arm hole.

  8. Small 13125

    Cut out the top of the bag. I use the plastic bag as a pattern for how large I would like the opening to be.

  9. Small 13126

    Then make a rolled hem around the opening to finish off.

  10. Small 13127

    Now you will fold the straps in half on the shoulder seem and sew this flat to finish the bag.
