multi purpose tshirt in a few quick steps.
(dont forget to vote!-thanks!)

Step 1: The First Cut Is the Deepest.....

you will need-
*a t-shirt (sleevless/vests type works best)
*bootlace or other strong cord thats long enough to go round your waist
*drawstring toggle (i never throw stuff out so had one off an old rucksack, but you can buy them in craft stores)
*scissors
*large safteypin

find the hem and snip open the side seam (about 1cm) to open this channel

Step 2: A Stitch in Time.....

thread youur shoelace/cord onto a saftey pin
-this will make threading throuh the hem MUCH easier
feed safteypin&lace through the hole you have just cut in the hem
feed all the way through so the lace runs through the whole length of the hem

Step 3: Gather

thread the drawstring toggle to help secure the ends (you can knot the ends for extra security)
pull tight gathering up the hem

Step 4: Voila!

full instructions for use-
take off shirt (hopefully you are not now naked!)
gather in drawstring tightly
fill bag with shopping
go home, rejoicing in your eco friendly credentials
get home, empty bag
loosen drawstring
launder shirt (this will help it back into shape)
you are ready to face another day of impromptu shopping dilemmas!
