Have you ever wandered through the t-shirt aisle at Goodwill and come across designs that read, “Bob’s Paint Shop,” ‘Joe’s Famous Pizzeria,” or, Smith’s Family Reunion? Designs like these are often produced for niche events and businesses but quickly become obsolete, thus ending up at thrift retail stores or, worse, our landfills. In this post, I will show you a sustainable way to upcycle your niche t-shirt into a stylish bag to help curb unnecessary textile waste. 

I’ve always wanted a pair; however, I couldn’t bring myself to purchase one at full retail price. On the official UGG website, these slides are priced on sale for $69.99. So, after adding tax and shipping, I’d likely spend about $90. For this frugal fashionista, that’s a price I’m simply not willing to pay.
