Why break the bank for a designer bag when you can easily make your own unique fashion statement?

i'm guessing the size of the tshirt determines the size of the bag right?? what size did she use?? XXL?? and will the bag hold well?? if i were to carry textbooks and stuff??
it's just to make it stronger and give the bag more shape because t-shirt matierial is very stretchy. So without the duct tape the bag would be a little bit saggy. :-)
