T-shirt tote
I made my first project from Tease. It was one of the easiest projects in there, and I tackled it because after working and shopping for work pants and going to dinner and ironing Lee's shirt for his interview and feeling crappy all evening, I couldn't begin on a complicated project, but I reeeeally wanted to make something. This book has been burning a hole in my knitting bag since Monday night.
It's a tote bag. I made it using the "Restoration Full Gospel Baptist Church" T-shirt I bought and altered a couple of summers ago, but I feel self-conscious wearing it here (will people think I'm a Baptist? will they understand why I'm wearing it? hey--why am I wearing it?). I adorned the handles with beads I might have had since 5th grade when another T-shirt project called for beads to adorn fringe (shudder).
I love that book!
For a tote made out of a T-shirt, it's surprisingly strong, and I will probably use it for groceries. I hope to begin bringing bags to the store instead of bringing home gobs of plastic bags. I try to reuse the plastic, but invariably we end up with more than we can use.
