Anne from Wobisobi shows how you can refashion a basic t-shirt into this awesome braided back tank. The loose, drapey tank is perfect for summertime! It would be cute with jeans (or cut-off jeans), and a laid-back dressy when worn with a maxi skirt. This refashion is done mostly with cutting and braiding, and requires only basic hand sewing skills. Go to Wobisobi for the tute.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
