You Will Need (8 things)

  • D Rings
  • Black Ribbons
  • Thread
  • T Shirt
  • Black Fabric
  • Velcro
  • Bias Tape
  • Lace Trim (black)

Steps (5 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Collect your trouser and shirt. Cut them up to form this:

    Play around with what you want the front of the bag to look like, but don't secure anything yet.

  2. 2

    Attach the D-Rings using some black ribbon. Sew a long line down because this will probably save thread.

  3. 3

    If had hemmed the ribbons my sewing wouldn't have coped, so I painted the ends with clear nail varnish to stop it from fraying.
    (this will be hidden)

  4. 4

    Lace the long black ribbon through the D-rings and stitch the top (as discreetly as you can( so that is doesn't move all over the place)

  5. 5

    Now follow this tutorial to make the actual bag
    (it is an older bag that I made)
