You don't need a fancy machine, just one that works

I also like to use chalk for dark colors.
That's a really good idea that I never thought of

Tim, I think it would be so cute to see you sitting down at a sewing machine! You are certainly a versatile and talented man!

I have absolutely no sewing skills whatsoever, so this will be fun to do as a starting project LOL.

So first up, I'm going to show you how to make a really easy bag out of a T-shirt. It can be one that doesn't fit you anymore, something your ex left behind and you feel like cutting up, or just any old T-shirt. For this you'll pretty much just need your shirt, some scissors, the sewing machine, and possibly some pins.

Something to keep in mind with T-shirts is that they can be difficult to work with due to their stretchy nature. Also, different sizes will vary with measurements.

Also, I'm going to be in and out. It's all quiet on the home front and I need to work on my Healthy Living Club "stuff"

I didn't say you were, I just wanted to be clear. I didn't mean to reply to you! lol

Since that last step was pretty easy, I'm gonna jump right to the next one.

How I'm going to turn this T-shirt into a bag is I'm going to start by taking the bottom 9” off the front and back. (Just lay it flat to cut).

Ah, thanks. I have been sewing for about 25 years. If someone says anything about it I will flog them with one of my whips.

Thanks, lol. It kept popping up in my closet and doesn't belong to my husband or me, so I figured this one was the best to get "sacrificed"

Cool, I don't see me getting one in the near future but will get one someone day. I will be quiet or try to be quiet from now on so I won't interrupt the flow of your class sweetie.
