You know the plastic bags you get from the grocery store? Ever wonder why they are called T-shirt bags? Its because you can make them out of T-shirts!
I whipped this one up in about 15 minutes using my basic/intermediate sewing skills!
I bought this shirt at target for $5 at St. Patrick's Day a few years ago meaning to turn it into a bag. I never got around to it and wore it a few times. This one probably is not good for much weight as the shirt is pretty thin, but normal weight cotton crew shirts would probably work fine. I am going to try and attempt my first tutorial on this soon, but its finals week and work has me working every day too!
In other news, I got crafty while I was away for the weekend at the Pacific Northwest Highland Games. There is a vendor that sells leather hair wraps that give the illusion of french braided hair with out all the hastle.
Mine (the dark hair) looks a little funky because there are two short ones.
They wanted $15 for a short one. They were simple to reverse engeneer. I picked up some leather cord at another vendor and some beads from the dollar store on the way back to the hotel and made my own. I am going to pick up some nice beads from the store when I get the chance to make them look nicer. When I do so, I hope to also make/post a tutorial on these as well!
A wrap around variation
Finally I made the red necklace from some nice silver beads I picked up at another vendor at the games. There are two barrel beads that hang on the two ends that are just out of the photo. One of the moms from my sisters band loved it and wanted me to make one for her. Looks like I may need to start my own business!
