Upcycle Those Tattered T’s

 

Looking for an easy weekend project? 

 

Need a break from cleaning out your closets? 

 

img_t-shirt-projects_ss1Turn your child’s treasured but too small t-shirts into a chic scarf! 

 

img_t-shirt-projects_ss3Make one for yourself too!  Come one, admit it, you’ve saved some treasured old T’s of yours too.

 

img_t-shirt-projects_ss7If you’re not into scarves, then make a pillow full of memories. 

 

It’s going to rain ALL weekend here in Ohio, so some serious cleaning and a little fun sewing might be just the thing.  Have fun!

  1. The scarf is super (I've done something similar with the sleeves of old sweaters), but this idea is top shelf! And that's a new take on the buttoned t-shirt pillow. Fun projects!

  3. Very neat idea! I am attached to all my boys' tops and hate getting rid of them, this is a great way to keep them!

    Thanks!

  4. great ideas! i saved back t-shirts from my highschool years, thinking I'd have my mother make them into a quilt someday. 20 years later, i've realized that's never going to happen. i haven't thought about that box of t shirts in years, but i was reminded of it tonight!

  8. These are so cute! We've been doing some serious decluttering lately, so our old t-shirt piles are really growing. What great new uses!
