T-Shirt Crafts
Zoe asks, “Hi- I have just de cluttered and now have about 10 jersey and cotton tops, t shirts and long sleeves, which I would like to use the fabric from. They’re mostly unworn so in good condition, I was wondering if anyone had any original ideas or what to use them for, besides headbands and baby things which is what springs to mind! Thanks!”

“I make no sew prayer flags or party flags. Cut the bottoms into squares and use the hemmed edge to draw a string through. To make them prayer flags, have everyone write or draw something inspiring. They look fabulous in your yard for parties if you have lots of colors, but I like plain white too.” – Tina K. “You can also refashion into peasant tops,cardigan or summer dresses for younger girls” – Lori G.

T-Shirt to Infinity Scarf Makeover
“You can make small pet beds with the long sleeve t-shirts. You sew the neck hole together, stuff the sleeves tightly with old fabric or fiberfill and then sew the wrists together which forms a circle. Lightly stuff the upper portion of the shirt for a comfy bed,then stitch the shirt body to the sleeves. I’d turn the excess shirt bottom to the inside so no cutting is necessary. Now you have a circle bed !! Little or no cost. Use,donate to shelter or give to friend! A quick repurpose!” – Becky C.
