DIY: Turn a T-Shirt into a Bag

Do you have a stack of your kids' t-shirts that are too small to wear but you can't bear to part with them? Try to turn a t-shirt into a bag for your kid's belongings when they head off to grandma's for the weekend. It's a great way to get a little more use out of those sentimental clothes you've been keeping in storage.

Materials:

  • Old T-Shirts
  • Scissors
  • Sewing machine, or you can hand sew it

Instructions:

Step 1: Begin by taking your T-shirt and laying it out flat. Iron if needed.
Step 2: Cut a scoop out around the neck band. Cut off the sleeves, creating a tank top look.
Step 3: Cut off the bottom hem
Step 4: Turn the shirt inside out and and pin the bottom closed
Step 5: Sew a 1/2" seam allowance. If you don't have a sewing machine, you can hand sew this part.
Step 6: Fill with the goodies, and send them off for the night!
