Freebie Friday: Upcycled T-shirt Tote Tutorial

Upcycled T-Shirt Tote


My sister and I love, love, LOVE to brainstorm. Whether it's a new little something to sew, products to source, or packaging, she has the eye for design, an ear to listen, and one heck of a contributing voice! Out of one of those sessions comes this fun, cheap, and easy DIY project. Turn any old t-shirt into an easy tote bag - perfect for the beach, playground, or park. I don't have much experience in pattern making, so I'll do my best to walk you through the tutorial...please ask questions if something's unclear. Enjoy :o)

Above, you'll see the basic instructions for my t-shirt tote bag. 
Below, I've listed a few extra details I've done to jazz up my finished tote (top image.)
