Do you have a t-shirt that you are very attached to? One that brings back happy memories? Why not turn it into a bag? Something you can use over and over. You can wear whatever you'd like, while still showing off your favorite shirt!
The girls of the Idaho Falls High School Volleyball team designed their own logo to be used on their team shirts. The girls love their team, they love the sport, and they love their logo. Sooooo, one very smart mom had the brilliant idea of turning these logo-shirts into a fun gift for the graduates, something they can use throughout the remainder of the school-year, and perhaps even take with them to college: an upcycled T-shirt tote.
The T-shirts I started out with were gray, and the print made the orange look somewhat dark, so I headed to the fabric store to see what I could find. Looking for sturdy decorator fabrics, I was hoping to find some fun polka-dots or chevrons in a happy bright orange. Well, I guess it was not my lucky day, because here were no such prints in orange and, as it turned out, not in black either!
I always added a floral print at the top to make the bags look somewhat girly and botanical.
