Make a T-Shirt Tote Bag

By MKS (Guest Post)

The "No Sew" T shirt tote bag that was on the "Today Show" is from a book called "Simply Sublime bags" by Jodi Khan. I've ordered the book, but its on back order, but I'm excited to get it! I have a slew of t shirts I want to convert and she has other great ideas to make handbags and totes from.

Dec. 23, on the Today Show, a tote bag was made from a tee shirt. The neck is cut out to fit pattern, sleeves at cut / removed. Then this material is covered with duct tape, etc. May I have name of book, that includes this pattern? Thanks

You could also use a sleeve-less tee and just reinforce sides and sew up bottom. With a tank top or sleeveless tee, no need for cutting, just sewing.

I'm so glad to find this. I've been looking for a lightweight tote bag to take to the beach. I'm having to fly, so weight and space in my suitcase is an issue. I'm leaving in four days. This sounds easy enough to complete in about an hour. Thanks!

What a great idea! I agree with LJ, have u got a picture? I'd probably do two, put one inside the other, for a heavier duty bag and reinforce all the seams with double seams.
