  Step 1

  Start with a shirt or fabric if you like. Any size you want.

• 

  Step 2

  If you are using a shirt measure out a square on the shirt any size you like and cut through both layers of the shirt.

  If you are using fabric make 1 long strip of fabric, You will be folding it in half later.

• 

  Step 3

  This is the bottom of the shirt. You will use this for the handles. Cut in half. You should have to strips that are about 3 inches wide and however long you want them. Fold in half and sew up. Turn right side out, put aside for later. (Or you can cheat like I did I used the ends of an old pillow case.

• 

  Step 4

  If you are using a t-shirt sew up all three sides.

  *everyone* Fold fabric in half, and draw a line about 3 centimeters down from the top. Make notches where you would like to have your handles. Then cut inbetween the notches.

• 

  Step 5

  Now you will flatten down the bottom edges, this will become a gusset.

• 

  Step 6

  Draw a line as wide as you would like the gusset to be and sew along the line. Repeat to other side.

• 

  Step 7

  Turn bag right side out, fold along the lines and insert handles where you cut the slits. Pin and sew about a centimeter down.

• 

  Step 8

  Unfold and sew 1 Centimeter down and sew all around the top of the bag. Embelish if you want and your done!
