Easy Reusable Shopping Bag Tutorial
I am obsessing over this reusable bag tutorial by Sewing Ideas. I am always on the lookout for new ways to save the planet, and this reusable bag does just that. Plus, it is super trendy and can be made from any old shirt, which we all have plenty of lying around.
Materials Needed For This Project:
- An Old Button-Up Shirt
- Scissors
- Flat Edge
- Sewing Machine
- Seam Ripper
Directions:
Step One
Cut the template for your bg using another bag that you like the size of. In the video don below, Sewing Ideas uses a plastic bag for her template.
Step Two
Cut the shirt as seen in the video down below. You will want to get all the solid fabric pieces off of the shits. You will be cutting them into sizes that line up to create one long piece of fabric. The size of your bag will depend on the size of your shirt.
