Then you will need to cut the collar of the shirt, the sleeves and the bottom cuff. Depending on the size of the neckline, the opening can be slightly enlarged so that the future bag can be easily filled and carried.
At the end of the hem, use a pencil and ruler to draw lines about 10cm long from bottom to top at 1cm intervals and cut them.
The individual strips must then be stretched so that they roll up lengthwise. This is exactly the effect you want to create.
