Cool, but how do you get stuff in?

[futeng]

You put it in through the neckhole

Hey, I just made this out of a t-shirt and can give you a "real" photo of the end result if you like, to make your instructable better. :]

[futeng]

Sure! Can you reply to this comment with the picture. It will be greatly appreciated.

[inkblotqueen]

Here you go :] I took a couple from different angles so you can choose the one which looks best to you.

[futeng]

Thanks.

[inkblotqueen]

You're welcome :D

Pretty cool, but real pictures would be nicer.

[xACIDITYx]

I agree. (both with you and EIR)

[futeng]

I'm working on it. I will also add another instructable on how to decorate these bags with a couple of different methods.

How about starting with a Tank top instead, save even another step??? Great idea, I love it!

[futeng]

That would work. Good idea!

[BigCoCo]

What if you were to leave the bottom of the shirt open and close up the sleeves and head hole. This would leave you with a bigger opening so you can carry BIGGER things!

[futeng]

I thought about that but figured that this is an easier solution due to the fact that 1) there would be no handles 2) more sewing is involved 3) the bag would be in a very odd shape and 4) it is just easier. I'm still working on this project and will be updating this project if I feel I can make it better.

Wonderful first time instructable. One thought... adding one picture of a finished product would "sell" your great idea a little better. BTW, Joe's comment is sheer brilliance. This could be used to get all sorts of stuff off of the floor of one's closet. (Not that I have anything on my floor...lol.) Again.....good job.

[Angadgsingh]

Reply to BigCoCo well if you did that there wouldn't be any handles

ONE BAG FOR EIA CABLE PARTS, ONE FOR 120V CORDS, ETC. THE BAGS STAY ON HANGERS STILL, TO KEEP THEM OFF THE FLOOR. THANKS.

Nice idea, yet real pictures of a shirt would be much better quality and make it look neater.
