recent craftage

[iguanasdefuego.livejournal.com]

So I decided that it was really wasteful to take my lunch with me in a paper or plastic bag which would just get thrown away. Solution: Make my own. Conveniently, I had two pink shirts that I no longer wear.


1st shirt (too big)

2nd shirt (too small) Ignore the cut. I forgot to take a before picture before I started. Dur.

I decided to keep the straps from the too-small shirt as handles.

And other side! I may sew it up to have a flat-bottom, but that might require my stitches to show and I only have one bobbin, full of black thread. Awkward.

Now I have a question. I am sewing pillows and want to put a rope trim around one. But the ends are all fray-y after I cut it. How do I keep them from fraying? I've tried melting it a bit since it looked acrylic, but it was more burny than anything.
