Cut away the neckline and t-shirt parts if necessary.

If you are using a t-shirt instead of a tank top for the lining of your bag, you will need to cut away the extra arm and shirt material.

Clip on the seam allowance marks you made in the last step. Be careful that you are making clean cuts through both layers of the shirt. Sharp scissors will make the jersey material easier to cut.

Next, we will iron and notch the handle.
