                         Hey, guys! I’m Maxine.            You won’t believe how many ways you can get
                         Welcome to my vlog!               creative with clothes! How about a T-shirt bag? My
                     Today I’m talking about my new        sister recently gave me two old striped cotton T-shirts
                       favourite hobby—upcycling           because she didn’t wear them any more. I loved both,
                     clothes. That’s taking old clothes    but neither of them  itted me. So, what did I do? I
                     and making something new with         turned them into bags! Of course, you can also use an
                    them. I  irst became interested in it   old shirt—either item of clothing will make a fantastic
                    last summer when my aunt taught        bag. You can carry things like your books or you can
                            me how to sew.                 even use it as a shopping bag! Anyway, I gave one of
                                                           the bags to my mum, and now she never leaves home
                                                           without it!
                                                           And listen to this! My brother recently got a big hole in
                                                           his favourite pair of baggy jeans, just above the knee,
                                                           when he fell o f his skateboard. I told him that torn
                                                           jeans look great, but he disagreed. He just wanted to
                                                           throw them away! So, I made a pocket out of an old
                                                           denim shirt he never wears, and I sewed it over the
                                                           hole! He’s happy because he thinks his jeans look even
                                                           better and trendier than before. And what about the
                                                           rest of the shirt? Well, I made him a cool denim tablet
                                                           case. All of his friends really liked it, but none of them

                                                           believed it was made out of my brother’s shirt until
                                                           believed it was made out of my brother’s shirt until
                                                           they watched my video! They were all really surprised!
