Upcycled Man's Shirt

Apron & wine gift bag

Apron & wine gift bag
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Home

Style: Funky, Preppy


Materials

Long sleeved man's shirt

What was your inspiration?

I made the gift bags first then had all the shirts left over. I searched the web for pictures of aprons made from different things and found one. So now I can make 2 gift bags and an apron from one shirt.

What are you most proud of?

That it's a fun, funky and unique gift.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just buy a shirt from a yard sale and try it.

This is brilliant! I am definitely going to figure this one out. I am very much into up-cycling/repurposing clothing. It is a blast going shopping in my family's seldom-used clothing to see how I can use it differently.

It also makes a "personal" gift that is useful and unique.

so great! I saw one on Indygo Junction and loved it but haven't be brave enough to try.

I had to make 2 before I got it right and I did not have a pattern.
