In the Making: The Men's Shirt & Tie Bag

Now where did I put those pi...oh yes, in my cakehole
We are in love with our Fortune-Teller Bag, it's super simple to make and bags of fun to wear.  You can run one up in 3 minutes flat. Nearly.  Well, maybe half an hour, but that's how quick and simple it is if you do our scarf tutorial, residing for now over at Mrs Thrifty's, where we proudly guest-blogged.  However, that's strictly for friends or for meself, but transferring the design to our product range means a little more quality control.  So here is one, a custom make for my good friend, who saw mine and ordered her own.  She stole her husband's shirt and sneaked it down the Post Office.  She could have stuck some of his ties in too - so the handles are old ties, but for now, we used some lovely old vintage lining fabric so the handles slide smoothly inside the bag casings.

When the shirt arrived I got my grubby, shoddy benailed mitts (aren't they a disgrace, my nails?  My four-year-old painted those on for me 3 weeks ago.  I'm just waiting for them to grow off because I've run out of nail varnish remover).

Um, as I was saying, I got my shoddy benailed mitts all over the shirt and cut it to smithereens before reconstructing it into a bag. 
Naked.  No, I'm kidding, I just happen to have a strapless top thingy on, but I admit it does look a little dodgy.  Unless we want to start up a naked sewing club?  Hm?

Hang on...pins, needles, rotary blades....I'm thinking casualty, embarrassing potential for ending up on the medics' facebook page entitled OMG You'll Never Guess What Injury Came Into Casualty Today

I'm thinking maybe we stick with clothes.  Let's leave naturism to beach volleyball.

Anyhoo, here it is; from shirt to bag.  It's where all shirts dream of ending up....


Grabbing buttons...
Cutting off cuffs...
Lopping off collars...
Cutting out the big shapes....
Sewing 'em together...
Adding lining pieces...
Piecing the structure...

Is it a cuff, or is it a pocket?
Stitching it all up...
Giving it legs - got to have your brand in there
Not wasting the breast pocket!
Putting buttons back on...it looks like tiny knitting!

Give it a little security with a button-up tab...

Re-using the buttons and button placket for a little detail...


Rouche up the handles....
And voila - one Men's Shirt Bag.

Coming soon to the website!  So if there's one of yer man's shirts you've had your eye on, stick a balaclava over your head and sneak into his wardrobe to half-inch it, nabbing a couple of ties while you're at it, and bob's yer uncle, a truly unique Men's Shirt Fortune-Teller Bag.

These will be available as a product to buy on the website very soon, but you know you can just get in touch with us anyway, right?
Here, at Facebook...

Nice! Though my husb has only dull shirts for work, non that I would steal. And how about this for the nails, keep varnishing them. It's what I do with my tootsies!
