Fun T shirt upcycle

July 20, 2012

For fashion Friday I decided to share another fun upcycled T shirt idea.

This miscellaneous tote was inspired by two different T shirt creations I noticed online.

Here is the tote I snipped and fangled from a shirt I was about to discard.

The upper part of the top has now been repurposed into handles, or tote straps.

Below are the t shirt grocery sacks that originally inspired me on this tote making journey.

Those little cuties require some sewing.

The last example shares a solution

for all those who don’t have a sewing machine and want to achieve a similar look.

Just snip an opening in the hem and feed a strip of Tshirt through the hem pocket.

Pull the stran tight and knot off. This style won’t work if you’re toting small objects

but if you are carrying produce or other larger objects it works perfectly!
