So, my husband was cleaning out the closet and had a few old T's he didn't want anymore so I quickly snagged them up and attempted the T-shirt Bag! I think it turned out pretty cool! Its super easy, no sewing required and fun to toss anything into and go! Wish I would have done this sooner to use as a pool or beach bag but for now, baby essentials will get stowed in it! Here is what I did:
1.) Trim off with scissors the sleeves, neckline, and bottom of the T at the seams. I like to make the neckline into a V-cut, it looks better once the bag is done.
2.) Next, cut 5'' strips up the bottom of the T all the way across the bottom about a rulers width apart. Be sure to snip the side seam to get open strips.
3.) Now, hold the T with one hand on the table and pull down on each strip to stretch them out so they coil up.
4.) Lastly, tie double square knots all along the bottom of the T with the strips you made. I start on one side and go half way, then switch to the opposite side to finish it out.
5.) And, waa-laa!!! You have your T-Shirt Bag!! I'm sure there are endless possibilities with this patten and any shirt. Have fun!
This is the best instructional post I've seen on the internet. Keep it up, Girl! Love the step by step pics! This will give me something to do with some of my old shirts:)
