Super Easy Tote Made from T-shirt

How many times have you been carrying an armful of stuff

and wished that you had a tote to carry it all?

Happens to me more often than you'd think because I don't like to make multiple trips from the car.

I found a quick fix to this. . .

 

 

a t-shirt tote.

 

 

I just made two cuts like this,

 

then turned the t-shirt inside out and sewed along the bottom.

After being turned right side out, I have a delightful and sturdy tote bag.

 

 

I made this one from a t-shirt that was a 2x size.

I think it may be a little too big, so I suggest you stay with a large or smaller.

 

I think I'll make several that I can take back and forth from the grocery store to

reduce how many plastic bags I use.

 

Wouldn't this be a great use for the school t-shirts our kids get every year?

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

And blessed be His glorious name forever!

And let the whole earth be filled with His glory.

Psalm 72:19

Another T-Shirt Scarf

     I love scarves, fun jewelry, and cute shoes. Now, I'm not a die hard shopper out at every sale looking for cute stuff. No, sir. As you've probably noticed, I am pretty cheap frugal, so unless I find something for a good price, I either go without it or make one.

     Today I have made one of those things.

A scarf. . . out of a t-shirt. Oh, yeah. 

 

 

 I actually think I'll wear this quite a bit. I have a lacy white scarf that I wear pretty often, so now I can switch out with this one.

 

 

Here's what I started with. A new t-shirt that I got at the thrift store sometime ago.

 

Then I followed this tutorial and made this cute little number.

     I've made a t-shirt scarf before, but this tutorial said it was even better. And I have to agree. I think it's because the strips are longer which makes for a longer scarf.

    Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!

Psalm 46:10
