How to Prep T-Shirt for No-Sew Tote Bag | No-Sew Crafts

Top Rated Products for Every Sewing Project:

A fun no-sew project that you can do with old t-shirts is to make a t-shirt grocery store tote bag. We have one here. They're super easy to make. You'll just need a couple of things. First, a t-shirt. We have a t-shirt selected right here. You'll also need a pair of scissors and a safety pin. When picking out your t-shirt, a couple of things that you should be thinking about. One, you want to make sure that you pick a good medium to heavy weight t-shirt. Because you're going to be putting items in the bag that might be a little heavy, we want to make sure that you're t-shirt tote bag won't fall apart when you're out shopping. So we have a nice medium weight shirt here.

Another thing you have to think about is the size of your t-shirt. A smaller t-shirt is going to make a smaller tote bag and a larger t-shirt is going to make a larger tote bag. You really want to have a standard style of t-shirt with a crew neck or a V-neck neckline and regular sleeves. A raglan sleeve, for example, won't make a good t-shirt tote bag because of the way that the seams are made. So once you have your t-shirt selected, we can go ahead and move to the next step to making our tote bag.

These videos are cool but would be better it you didn't break them down into separate videos.
