Every second Tuesday our local Children’s Centre has a ‘Craft & Chat’ session. Today was my second appearance and gosh I loved it. Not only do we get to make some awesome things, I get to chat and drink coffee with some awesome ladies.
Today we made bags out of old t-shirts. It has to be the simplest, funkiest, quickest and most fun I have had we a sewing machine in a while.
Below is a run down on how to ‘knock’ one up …
-
- Find an old t-shirt (this is an old painting shirt)
-
- Cut sleeves and neckline. This is the top of your shopping bag.
-
- Turn inside out. Tuck under a good amount of shirt to make a hem.
-
- Sew the bottom of the bag.
-
- Turn inside out again. Cut tassles & add tassles.
Presto, a shopping bag made in a few minutes.
