Let's go a bit frugal this time by transforming an old Man's shirt into a lovely tote bag. If you have a Man's shirt laying around in your closet, that you can't even donate that anymore. Like this one that I got here, this is belong to my husband, although the fabric is still looking great, but the collar and cuffs are starting to wear out (in this case I wouldn't even bother to donate this)

So,  I decided to extract some strips out of this shirt, add a little bit of white accent fabric, and voila!!

Check out the full video tutorial below:

Supplies :
Long sleeves man's shirt at least size M
1/2 yard of cotton fabric for the lining (quilt weight recommended)
Nylon/polyester zipper at least 8" (20cm) long

I am so excited to share with you the Fabianna Messenger Bag Tutorial.
Making this bag simply cure my winter blue, since it has been cold, damp, and mixed snow and rainy day here at my mountain home in Northern AZ.

Hope your project turns out beautifully.
