This little bag is so cute and useful! The supplies are simple and most people have them in there house. Any sized shirt will work, it depends on how big you want your bag. I hope you enjoy this project as much as I did. Have fun!

Supplies

1. Old t-shirt. Size doesn't matter.

4. Rodery cutter and mat

5. Scissors

6. Sharpie

Cut the Top

About two inches from the top of the arm seam, use the sharpie to draw a line that goes down, than straight across and up again. Curve the edges of the square. Use the rodery cutter and carefully cut along the line. Clean up the edges with a pair of sharp scissors.

Cut the Sleeves

Turn the shirt inside out and carefully line up the bottom seam. Thread the needle and stitch up the bottom with the running stitch. Make sure to keep the edge lined up. Tie it of with a double knot and turn right side out. Done! ✅
