make your old tank tops into reusable totebags/scarves
Posted on | November 13, 2008 |
this camo tank used to be my favorite, but it’s been a little too tight lately (darn you late night bacon cravings).
 |
rather than end our 11 month relationship, i decided to transform it into something new and useful.
1. first, i turned my tank top inside-out and laid it flat so that the armholes aligned.
 |
2. the next step is to sew the bottom of your tank top (preferably with a sewing machine) closed. i sewed mine twice for good measure.
 |
3. and you’re done! just turn it inside out and you’re ready to carry home bread, eggs, newspapers or other light items.
 |
for a fancier look, just use a glitzier tank.

they double as scarves too! what a thoughtful way to avoid having to actually carry your extra totebags.

Hello, my name is Rain and I currently write for DIY Fashion at About.com.
This tank top transformation is such a great idea! I was wondering if I could republish this how-to at my site, including links to your blog, here.
Each page of the tutorial would link back to your site, and there would be an additional promo for the article in my blog. All I need to showcase your how-to is permission to republish the photos.
Thanks and have a great day!
