How to: Turn a T-shirt into Macramé Market Bag

UPDATE: In the video the hem is cut off and we show you how to sew a casing. You don't have to do this, you can simply use the original hem as the casing...
It's Earth Day and what better way to celebrate than with an upcycled project tutorial! Our goal at Trash to Couture is to inspire a less wasteful approach to the mass-produced fashion mainstream by designing tutorials using repurposed materials whenever we can.
We've partnered up with Péla case to show how to upcycle a t-shirt into this macramé tote bag from a worn out t-shirt.

Péla Case is on a mission to show people what a sustainable, eco-friendly plastic alternative can look and feel like. The cases are made with renewable plant-based and recycled materials, designed to be strong enough to protect your phone but formulated to be 100% compostable after you no longer need it. They're NSF tested to be free of BPA, lead and cadmium because products you use should be safe for you and your family as well as the planet!

Knot the strings closer for smaller produce or go big for a beach day bag. Even better make one to carry your engraved Péla Case covered phone and bring inspiration with you! Either way this cool bag will stand out and when someone asks where you got it from, you can say with pride my "husband's old t-shirt!”

I got lost, but I'll come back when I get a tee shirt to work with. So cute. Yes, definitely, easier than crocheting. Macrame.

This is such a confusing video but cool concept! I’m trying but you didn’t show how to complete the knot pattern :(

[@trashtocouture]

Thanks for this tutorial. I have two questions: Firstly, why to you cut the bottom part of the shirt and then sew the thing for the string, just doesn't make any sense to me. The t-shirt already has that thing to pull the handle trough. Secondly, why don't you do square knots all around in the first place, so you wouldn't have to close it on the side?

[@trashtocouture]

yes, I made this years ago and don't know why I did that. Agreed just use the bottom hem for the casing...I had a newborn baby at the time so mom brain was in full effect haha
