How to Make a T-Shirt Bag


Really cool way to transform a T-Shirt into a trendy bag. Watch for the reveal! I posted this because I love the concept of recycling old T-Shirts and hope others will try it as well. This segment from the Today Show on NBC demonstrates how you can make a T-Shirt bag in just minutes. The guest in this segment is Jodi Kahn, the author of Simply Sublime Bags: 30 No-Sew, Low-Sew Projects. More about the book and the author: You’ll tire of hearing “Where did you get that bag?” Simply Sublime Bags offers the secrets to creating four-figure-price-tag-worthy bags. And most of them only take an afternoon! Whether its a casual carryall or a ritzy, patent leather clutch, the envy of your friends is only a few hours away. Why break the bank for a designer bag when you can easily make your own unique fashion statement? In Simply Sublime Bags, youll find 30 do-it-yourself, clever and affordable handbag projects—all of which require little to no sewing. With inventive methods of construction (like duct-taped reinforced interiors and iron fusing), these hip handbags, totes, and clutches have all the looks that bag-lovers want—the shine of patent leather, Chanel-style chain straps, or even funky logos—and each can be personalized to your own taste. The materials are easy to find in hardware, home, office supply, and fabric stores—sometimes even in your own closet! Bags include: • Charmed, I’m Sure—brightly colored vinyl makeup bags with vintage plastic charm zipper pulls • Keyhole Clutch
