turn old clothes into new totes and purses

Okay here goes turn an old tee shirt into a tote bag. Step 1 wash shirt . Step 2 cut sleeves off to make a tank top shape and cut a V shape about 3" down from the collar on both sides. Step 3 turn inside out and sew bottom shut then add seems to sleeves if needed. Step 4 turn rightside out and use. Now make a purse out of blue jeans. Step 1 wash. Step 2 fold in half so both legs are even and cut above straddle so bottom is open( save at least one leg youll need it). Step3 turn inside out and sew bottom shut. Now for that leg cut 3 1/2" strips as long as you want your strap. Braid the 3 strips together glue the ends w/ fabric glue and sew on the purse now turned back right side out. Have fun and good luck.
