How to Make a Bag from a T-Shirt

Have a T-Shirt that you adore but is too small for you? In only a few simple steps, you can make a cute, unique pochette!

Things You'll Need
A T-shirt
scissors
a needle
some thick thread/gardening thread/leather strap

Steps

1. Gather your needed materials.
2. Cut off the sleeves of that Tee, making sure you have at least 1 inch from the neck hole, so you will have enough room for straps.
3. Turn the T-Shirt inside out and sew the bottom.
4. Turn it back and then cut your gardening thread/thick thread to about a length that your bag could flow down your back as the strap is on your shoulder.
5. Sew on the strap.
6. Enjoy your trendy pochette!

Tips

• Don't use yarn or string. Layer thread, if it's thin.
• For some pieces of flair, sew some chunky buttons on the side.
• You could use a T-shirt that's too small or one which is over sized,or even a tee you like, but it's better off in bag form!
• Make sure that your sewing is strong, so your strap won't fall off.

Warnings
This may take an hour or two to make, so make sure you have freetime.
