T-Shirt Bag: Demonstrated

This is what you'll need:

1 t-shirt
1 pair of scissors
1 saftey pin

Step 1: Lay shirt on flat surface and cut a straight line just below the armpits.



Step 2: Measure two-fingers-width at the top of the cut t-shirt. Cut that width all the way across your t-shirt. This will become your thread - Set aside.



Step 3: Turn your t-shirt upside down, so that the edge you just cut is facing you. Cut "piano keys" all along the bottom, creating fringe.

Once cut, tie the matching front and back "keys" together and double knot.

Step 4: Cut a diagonal line (or triangle) in the hem of your t-shirt on both sides


Cut your thread to make one long piece. Attach your safety pin to one end of the thread.

Work the safety pin through the entire hem of your shirt.

Tie the two ends into a knot.

The finished product:

Or if you don't fancy the fringe, turn it inside out for a hobo effect:

Every year is a little better

I had such a wonderful 27th birthday - well I guess it could be a birthweek because that's how long it was celebrated.

It all started with an awesome trip "home" to have some quality girl time including Lori's bridal shower and shopping for Er's bridesmaid dresses:

Then on my way home, Ben called to say I was getting an early birthday present. I was thinking it was a puppy. But no, I got a freakin' grill!!!
It was a bit chilly :-) Ohh, and I now wear glasses 75% of the time.


On my actual day of birth I received flowers from Er and Jon:

The wine and herb tour over the weekend was a blast. I highly recommend visiting me in Ithaca so I can take you on a tour :-) It was a special treat to spend time with our out-of-town visitors!

Cheers!
