No-Sew Tshirt Bag

Posted on

This is the simplest way to make a no-sew tshirt bag. If you want to get fancy you can use actual sewing scissors, seam rippers, measuring tape or a rotary cutter. But for this simple craft, cutting and tying are your only instructions.

How to Make a No-Sew Tshirt Bag

Lay your tshirt down on a flat surface and start by cutting the sleeves along the armhole.

Since my shirt had buttons I chose not to cut the neckband. This part will be the handles.

Cut evenly sized strips along the entire length of the bottom opening.

At this point I turned the cut shirt inside out (you don’t have to turn your tshirt inside out if you don’t mind the knots at the bottom of the bag, but I wanted to hide mine.) Then I started tying double knots, connecting the front and back fabric. I continued all the way until the bottom opening was sealed.

Then I flipped my tshirt bag back and it was ready to use!
