Team Pride Jersey Tote
Show your team spirit (and "green" spirit) with the Team Pride Jersey Tote. This free tote pattern from Tiffany Threadgould is a breeze to make, even for sewing beginners. If you have an old jersey lying around, you're halfway there! (If not, you can probably find one at a local thrift store or resale shop.)
Materials:
- old sports jersey
- webbing or grosgrain ribbon for handle
- needle and thread or sewing machine
- fabric scissors
- straight pins
Instructions:
- Cut off your jersey at the arms and neck.
- Turn the jersey inside out. Sew along cut edge. The bottom of the shirt will become the top of the bag.
- Cut two 18-inch pieces of ribbon or strapping. Sew as handles near the top of the bag. Sew one handle to each side.
- Flip your bag to the right side and you're finished!

Great idea, but using the bottom of the jersey as the top of the bag effectively turns the logo upside-down. Instead, I boxed the corners of the jersey bottom and sewed a flat base into the bag, inserting a cut-to size piece of those bendable cutting boards into the bottom for support. I rolled over and sewed the edge cut from the neck as the top.
