I post every 50th bag, so here's bag number 2850.
A long handled one, from donated fabric.

Quick run through the old sewing machine (not shown), and I had to adjust it a bit, but there we go .. (I prefer a slightly tighter fit on the shirt, but that definitely is a negative as middle-age gut expansion occurs lol.) Before adjustment it was too far into "muscle shirt" territory lol. #sewing
There was nearly an inch difference... again, same label size "L" #sewing
Marked the edges with chalk. Note:I probably should have ironed them both first, I had to rip and readadjust the seams because these markings were slightly too tight. #sewing
Using a T-shirt which I really like the fit, figured out where I needed to take in the edges and bottom. They are labeled as the same size (Large)!! #sewing
Wore out a T-shirt (threadbare!), so picked up a bargain $2 replacement at the thrift store. Custom tailored it today. Before photo. #sewing
My mother bought a bag many years ago, and it was the one she used the most. Over time, it got torn and worn out, and it was no longer usable. But the core material was still strong! So one day, I completely took the bag apart. I cut away all the torn pieces. Then, I covered the remaining material with new fabric on both sides so that the old material was completely hidden & covered, and stitched it back together.

Beyond fit for Michael’s pants, we focused on pocket design. Deep side pockets + added zipper pockets on both sides give more storage without bulk. Vertical zip leg pockets make it easy to access (or hold) essentials while sitting.
