Lay your T-shirt on a flat surface. With your scissors, carefullly cut the T-shirt at the sleeves where they are sewn to the body. Do this on both sides.

Next carefully cut below the collar in a "U" shape.

3. Turn inside out and pin

Turn the T-shirt inside out and pin the bottom of the T-shirt along the hem. (I've used red just for visual purposes, but you should use a thread color that matches your shirt.)

4. Sew it up

5. Add shape

This step isn't necessary, but it gives your bag a flat bottom. I find it also gives a nicer shape to the bag. Match the bottom seam along with the side seam and it will make a point with the corner of the bag. Sew a seam perpendicular to the first seam. Repeat on the other corner of the bag.

6. Turn inside out and use

Turn your bag inside out and now it's ready to use. Bring it to your next home game as fun sports bag to show off your school spirit.
