T-Shirt Scrap Bag
(click on image to see detail)
How To: (by Inventacharm)
1.gather lots of different old t shirts or t shirt material.
2.first cut two big pieces for the front and back, regular tote size. (btw i didn't line the bag so i only used these pieces for the bag)
3.cut a bunch of stripes from all the different material. same width as the two main pieces. length depends on how long you want the fringe to be. mine were about 4-5in.
4. starting from the bottom sew stripes of fabric to big bag square piece. as you go make sure they overlap. repeat with other bag square.
5.sew the two main pieces facing the wrong side (what will be your inner bag) leaving top side open. make sure you tuck in any piece of stripe fabric peekin from underneath before you do this.
6.turn bag inside out.
7.cut all stripes to make fringes
8.make strap for bag. sew to the sides of the bag. (just like any other bag really)
**to make flower/puff ball/whatever you wanna call it
all i did was make a bunch of little stripes of different color t material and glued it on corner of the bag . keep gluing the stripes in different angles on top of each other until it looks like above. i used a glue gun for this.
it looks kind of funky and messy in the end but i guess that's what i like about it.
