Garment convertible to shoulder bag

A method of converting a garment having at least a front portion to a converted bag form and a back portion comprising the steps of:

• providing a garment comprising a waist area, armholes, shoulders, neckline opening, two side areas, bottom, garment upper back, a pair of sleeves, a front closure, a pair of separating zippers along each side area of said garment, an upper back panel, D-rings and a reinforcement strap permanently connected between the upper back panel and garment upper back by a horizontal back panel stitch, a removable bag strap with hook closures housed within loops on the inside of the garment, and an elongated hem;
• pulling the removable bag strap from inside the garment by releasing the hook closures from the loops located on the inside of the garment;
• positioning the sleeves inside the garment for containment when the garment is in converted bag form;
• closing the front of the garment fully by fastening the front closure;
• reaching underneath the upper back panel and pulling the D-rings to expose them which further flips the upper back panel towards the front of the garment covering the neckline opening, shoulders, and armholes to create a bag opening edge;
• folding the garment longitudinally about the waist area with the front closure positioned on the inside of the fold;
• locating the bottom and top zipper portions of each separating zipper along each side of the garment and closing each separating zipper from the waist area up to form the bag compartment and bag opening;
• attaching the hook closures of the removable bag strap to the D-rings positioned adjacent to each end of the bag opening edge;
• bringing the bottom of the garment comprising the elongated hem over the bag opening to form a bag closing flap to provide a device for closing the bag.
