Do you hold on to old t-shirts? Shirts that remind you of a great time in your life, but are frankly too small/big/unflattering/awkward to wear anymore? A quick cut & stitch will help you lessen your nostalgic t-shirt load, & you get a cute bag out of it!

Instructions

  1. Small 102383 2f2014 06 06 144031 img 1551edit

    First, lay your t-shirt out.

  2. Small 102383 2f2014 06 06 144052 img 1561edit

    Cut the collar & sleeves out as shown on the right.

  3. Small 102383 2f2014 06 06 144055 img 1556edit

    For the bottom, turn your t-shirt inside out.

  4. Small 102383 2f2014 06 06 144102 img 1564edit

    Sew a seam along the bottom, just above the original hem line of the shirt. I curved my seam up along the sides, but this isn't necessary. Turn your t-shirt right side out.
