How to Make a Hand Bag from a Tank Top

I was shopping in Wally’s World and I saw this pretty flowered Tank top on clearance.  I knew I could create a great hand bag with it so for $1.50 I bought it and took it home.  One day when I was on a sewing craze, I turned it into a wonderful hand bag.  So this is how I made it.

Step 1:

Supplies:
Tank top
Sewing machine
Thread (matching or contrast)
Scissors
¼ inch elastic
Straight pins

Nice! You could also put some fusible interfacing in to make it more stable so it doesn't stretch out like crazy! But I always overfill my grocery bags!

So nice! I love doing this to funky tops from thrift shops!

Oh so cute - the gathered bottom makes it looks very nice!
