Custom eThreads rePurpose bag: Kateri L.’s State Radio t-shirt

emily — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:20:59 +0000

We recently launched eThreads rePurpose, a new service in which we turn t-shirts, jackets, blankets, etc. into bags! For more information or to see examples of our rePurpose bags, click here. You can purchase t-shirt bags on our blog or our Etsy page. In addition to using salvaged t-shirts, we welcome custom-made orders so that you can turn your favorite t-shirt or jacket into a new bag!

Kateri L. sent us a t-shirt autographed by her favorite band, State Radio. She wanted a bag that included the logo of the band and the autographs. We had to create a new pattern size for the Large Pouch that was big enough to fit everything. Ta-da…the finished product…

Kateri was really happy with the bag:

Emily! The purse is FABULOUS! I love it! The purse looks so so good- thanks so much! I have gotten so many compliments on it already!

Thank you Kateri! What a fun bag. If you would like to repurpose your favorite t-shirt, email emily@elementalthreads.com.
