Shag Bag From Recycled T-Shirts

Step 12 Wear!

Now you're the proud owner of a ridiculous, fuzzy, huge shaggy bag made from recycled t-shirts! 

Wear it with pride, and show off the blood stains*!

Before I sewed the sides of the bag up, it totally looked like I was making the front half of a dress, or an apron (though there's waaaay too much surface area for it to be a good apron; ack.)  The fuzzy t-shirt bits would make an excellent skirt!  Somewhere between faux-fur and flapper chic.  This technique seems flexible enough for use in a variety of fun clothing projects.

A fuzzy skirt is now somewhere on my (very long) to-do list, but I'd love to see someone else give it a try! 





*No, there weren't blood stains.  But we can pretend I left some nice ones.

I just embellished my laundry basket in a similar fashion, for no logical reason, other than I like this application. I was looking for something I could wear with these fuzzies on it. Going to try this bag idea, but smaller scale, with a long cross-over strap. Thanks for the inspiration, and the technique. Didn't have a handle on how I would do it, now I do!

Ooh, I might just steal your fuzzy skirt idea! Although I'll probably use hoooked zpagetti instead of t-shirts, to save myself some work.

Please steal away! I'd love to see the result.
And swapping out the t-shirts makes sense if you're doing a ton of surface area.
