I think the only downside to these bags is that you wouldn't want to overfill them. I don't think your family's weeks worth of canned food is gonna do any good, because the straps are just too skinny.
Anyway, they are so super easy and I took a few photos to do a tute. Here goes...
the singlet bag
1. Choose a singlet, I liked this one with beading on the front.
2. Turn inside out, and then sew up the bottom seam. I used zigzag because the material is knit.
3. Fold up the bottom seam to meet the side seam in a triangle. Then sew across the triangle about 2 inches in. This gives your bag a boxed bottom. On my singlet it was easy to figure out where to sew, because the bottom had a cuff - you can see it in the above picture.
4. I then sewed the "triangle" down to the bottom of the bag. You could just skip this step, especially if you wanted a smaller bottom to your bag.

5. Snip the threads and you're done... A very quick project that's quite satisfying!
I've made 2 already!!!
