How-To's Day: Make a Reusable Tee Tote

Today's How- To is all about making a Reusable Tee Tote from old Graphic Tees.  These are fun, quick, and super functional!  I wish I could zap myself back to all my High School basketball tees and transform them all as graduation gifts.  OR, jazz up some old band tees for your rocker friends who wear their headphones all-day to the soundtrack of their lives...

 Anywho, Here is the fun all laid out.  I broke it down to a bunch of steps to spell it out, but this is something easy that a beginner could master quickly :)

You need:   A Sewing Machine

            Old Tee Shirts

  Scissors

Pins

Thread 

Step by Step-

STEP 1:

Flip the shirt inside out and fold a section in at one of the shirts bottom corners so it tucks flat inside itself.  I don't measure mine out, but feel free to test out different fold lengths to create the depth/ bottom of the bag.

Its August- where has the time gone??? Coming Up this Week-

Recently I have been quite proud of the fact that I had an anti-hording epiphany and my collections of treasures is being evaluated with a fresh pair of eyes!!! 

It has been super stimulating going threw and inventorying all my "new supplies". I still have some keepers in a "do not touch" area for saving- But everything else is fair game!  I am really glad to mash up the items I have been stashing and all of our collected recyclables for some fun new projects.  I find that getting supplies from my friends and family is super stimulating because I have to put on my problem solving hat-lol.

 Got a super sweet goody box that I sorted out this weekend! Perfect time for all the fun to come :)  Thanks Alisa for all the fun!!!

 We went to JetRag and got some fun finds- I love buying things second-hand, its probably even more fun the second time around. We are on the hunt for Tee's so if you have some 'ol give aways from events or tired old sayings, I can swap some merch for some materials ;)

I am washing all of the clothes from yesterday as we speak, and I am looking forward to doing a tutorial tomorrow on making tee shirt bags.  Usually at the Fairs we re-use old shipping bags (The air bubble mailers used in shipping protection *below*) Or brown paper bags from groceries.  I am thinking the shirt bags will bake a nice cheap, reusable alternative to us buying shopping bags to provide.  If you purchase more than $45.00 worth of Merchandise the purchase will include a bag, otherwise we will sell them for $3.00-

Air bubble mailers used in shipping protection- Still one of my favorites for all the small magnets and impulse buys.  Check out this How-To to make your own!

We'll still have the more durable shirt bags made from amazing pattern polyester shirts, And I just got some amazing new patterns :) I'll post new patterns when available-
