Super Versatile T-shirt Bag (T-shirt Hacks Contest)

In this instructable I'll show you how to quickly convert an old, maybe worn out, or wrong sized T-shirt into a super versatile bag! This T-shirt bag is great for carrying laundry, serving as a gym bag, being a temporary pillow case on trips, and many many more dandy things!!

Read on to make your super T-shirt bag, and discover the possibilities that it holds for you.

Been awhile since you posted this, but it was just what I needed to turn an old football shirt that my son did not want to throw out into a usable gym bag. Awesome! Thanks!!

This is a very easy pattern with very good results - I like the pillowcase idea

wow! really nice, i have made bags of this type before, but not as nice. too bad it cant qualify for the t-shirt hacks. you cant wear it anymore... maybe sewing your bag to a wearable t-shirt would make it wearable and make it qualify! very nice job. -gamer

Well, before I read the full instructions (they were hard to find because they weren't linked to the main contest page) I made this. I interpreted the contest as hacking a t-shirt into something new again, besides just making a different looking t-shirt. Never know, they may still count it. Atleast I hope they do. Thanks for the feedback -Gunk

They should. I'd vote for it -- it's very good.
