There is something extremely satisfying about the ability to create your own clothes and accessories, and on top of that, it helps to recycle clothes that we might have thrown in the trash.
For example, who would have thought that old t-shirts can be turned into gorgeous, spacious and comfortable sports bags for shopping or the beach? In addition to other ingenious and effective uses, by following simple tips it is possible to create an XL bag for any use our minds can imagine. Let’s get into the details.
Create your own comfortable bags in just 15 minutes and with an unimaginable and very simple method
What to do with all those old t-shirts that are no longer worn but are still too good to throw away?
The best use is clearly to recycle them and turn our favorite shirt into a simple but totally unique and useful XL bag.
The first good news is that we no longer have to throw away our t-shirts. But the second is just as extraordinary.
Bags designed with your own t-shirts do not need to be sewn
To make your own comfy knit bags, you don’t need a sewing machine or a sewing diploma. Cutting and knotting will only take fifteen minutes of your time.
Accessories and methods of creation
The essential accessories to create a bag are:
- shirt;
- Pencil;
- Scissors.
The process is very simple. First you have to lay the shirt flat: The hem ends of the front and back must be exactly on top of each other.
Then you need to cut the collar of the shirt, sleeves and bottom cuff. Depending on the size of the cutout, the opening can be slightly enlarged so that the future bag can be easily filled and carried.
At the end of the hem, use a pencil and ruler to draw about 10 cm long lines from bottom to top at a distance of 1 cm and cut them off.
The individual strips then need to be stretched so that they roll up lengthwise. This is exactly the effect you want to create.
Next you need to take a top strip and a bottom strip and tie them together twice until all the strips are knotted.
The tighter the knot, the more stable the bag will be.
How to use the pockets made with your own shirts
These bags are made from a t-shirt and are made in no time and without sewing.
They are suitable for shopping, as a sports bag or instead of a handbag, so it pays to make several at once; in different colors and different models.
Finally, remember that the contents of a thin fabric bag should not be too heavy: for a book bag, for example, it is advisable to recycle denim fabric, which is absolutely more resistant.
