From the old to the new

Is not it hard to believe that these designer nets in their previous lives were just t-shirts.

In fact, this can be done quickly and easily. To do this, you just need to make a seam on the sewing machine along a curved line between the lower edges of the armholes, and then cut holes for the handles and for the mesh pattern. To make it convenient for you to cut, as well as for greater accuracy, first mark the places of cuts with a marker.


YOU WILL NEED: for each mesh - 1 T-shirt, top or similar product, sewing thread, magic tailor's chalk, scissors or knife cutter, roller cutter and bedding for cutting.

HOW TO MAKE: T-shirt to turn out the wrong side out. Smooth all folds on the front and back. Mark the convex line for the lower edge of the bag right next to the seams of the sleeve-in sleeves with magic chalk. The hem on the bottom of the shirt will be the top of the net. Sew along the marking. Carefully cut the sleeves and top of the T-shirt along the seam.
Mark the slots: draw a horizontal line at a distance of 12 cm from the top edge of the bag, then mark the following lines with an interval of 1 to 4 cm. Finish marking slots before approx. 5 cm to the bottom seam of the mesh (if measured from the line of the middle of the handbag).
Mark slots for handles at a distance of approx.5 cm from the top edge of the bag, slots 15 cm long exactly in the middle of the bag.
Run slots. Unscrew the mesh and stretch it a little horizontally so that the slots twist slightly.
