Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve got a great tutorial for a no sew tote bag you can make from a T-shirt:
Save this project by pinning here ==>> )
Do you have a bunch of unloved or outgrown knit shirts lying around? I have a fun and earth friendly upcycling project to share with you today. These no-sew tote bags are perfect to use at the farmer’s market or even as fun little tote bags for kids! (We used ours all summer long for sleepovers and to carry around stuffed animals and toys.)
They are so easy to make- a perfect rainy day craft to keep an elementary aged (and up) busy.
To make this project, you need:
1. Knit shirt
2. Scissors
3. Pencil or chalk
Seriously, that’s it!
The perfect little craft to keep the kids busy during summer break or a rainy day.

I am SO going to have to do this with my daughter's scout troop! I've got a Craft Gossip post scheduled for tomorrow morning that links to your tutorial: http://sewing.craftgossip.com/?p=84295 -Anne

I'm dropping by from the Too Much Time on My Hands link party. This is such a wonderful idea! I'm going to have to go to the thrift store to get some large knit shirts to make a bunch of these with my grandchildren.
I have a link party that I am trying to grow. I invite you to share this idea (and a couple of other ones) at my Grandma Ideas Sharing Time link party at http://grandmaideas.com. My readers would love this idea as much as I do!
My link party goes from Wednesday through Friday night at midnight Mountain Daylight Time. I hope that you will be able to make it.
All the best,
Nina

This is so adorable! Could this still work if you use a tank-top instead of a T-shirt?
Jamie says
I would think so. If you try it, be sure to report back on your results!
