Upcycled T-Shirt Tote Bag!

Do you have an old t-shirt that you love, but it doesn't quite fit anymore?  I ♥ diet Coke, but I never wear this tiny t-shirt anymore, so I decided to make it into a tote bag!

You'll Need:
a t-shirt
scissors
sewing machine or needle and thread
a bowl
 
Start by turning the t-shirt inside out.  Other instructions tell you to pin the bottom together, but I didn't have pins and wasn't worried about being precise and it was ok.  Then sew the bottom together.
 

 
Cut the sleeves off at the seam.
 
 
With the t-shirt inside out, put a bowl over the neck hole and trace a line.  Then use that line as a guide to cut.
 
 
Voila - tote bag!
