Take your old t-shirts that you can't get rid of for sentimental reasons and turn it into a shopping bag. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course I tried it and it was another easy project. </span></span><br />
<br />
The tutorial is self explanatory. But I did make a few changes to suit my needs. First, my t-shirt already had cap sleeves, so i didn't follow the instruction to cut off the sleeves. I cut the neck hole wider and less deep than the pic in the tutorial so that my picture didn't get cut off. And I added bias tape to make the mouth a little sturdier. <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Now the part when I needed that extra muscle... Remove the plastic backing from the chair pads. The plastic backing is pressed on only not screwed on, so it really just requires a little muscle!Removing the backing from the bottom of my chair was easy, but the backing for the chair back required two people. My assistant (mom) held the pad, while I yanked and pulled on the plastic. at one point I had to use a flat head screw driver to try and pry it off. I was sure I was going to break it, but I didn't! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once the backing is off, you'll see that the original cloth is only stapled on and that's exactly what you are going to do. Measure out your fabric. I cut mine very generously, but in hindsight, I probably didn't have to waste so much. If the cloth has a pattern, <strong>make sure you center the pattern before you cut.</strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Spray the glue directly onto the original fabric and lay your new pretty fabric on top, adjusting for the pattern. The glue is to make sure you get the indent of the original pad, not so much for sticking the cloth down to the pad. However I did notice that the glue helped keep the cloth in place when I was stapling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, turn it over and start stapling. You need to make little gathers on the curves of the pad. Make sure to press the stapler tight against the chair. I didn't always remember and so the staples didn't always take. Make sure the fabric stays smooth on the pad side. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I have decided to share my craftiness with the world maily because so many others have inspired me through their blogs and websites, that I feel now is my turn to return the favor! Thanks to all those crafty people out there who have taught me so much. Hope you find some inspiration in what I have to share.</span>Deborahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12277644090204639322noreply@blogger.com0
