2. Cut off the sleeves of the t-shirt along the seam, creating two openings.
3. Cut the neckline to widen it for easier access.
4. Turn the t-shirt inside out and sew or tie the bottom hem closed (if sewing, use a straight stitch).
5. Turn the t-shirt right side out again.
6. Optional: Use fabric markers to decorate your tote bag.
7. Your tote bag is ready to use – fill it with groceries, books, or your favorite items!
