5 Ways to repurpose an old T-shirt
Let’s face it, we’re all home and have a lot of time on our hands. DIY has now become a thing 🤭 So we thought to give you something else to do other than cooking and eating 😉
1. Pillowcases
So maybe you have some really cool t-shirt prints that you’re just not willing to let go of. Also, you have a lot of time on your hands and have a few throw pillows that need some extra loving (ie, new covers). Get your class 4 home-science skills on and create awesome pillowcases with just 5 ingredients; scissors, pins, sewing machine (or plain old needle and thread), a pillow and of course, a t-shirt 😊 Check out the step by step on DIY Network
2. Quilt
Now this may be a bit more complicated because it needs you to have sewing machine basics. But if you’re willing to take up a challenge, it’s actually not too bad. It’s a beautiful way to save memories in a warm and cozy blanky. You can choose to save all your old high school t-shirts or your baby’s T-shirts in her first decade of life. Whatever your inspiration, you’ll get a pretty cool quilt! Check out How to Make a T-shirt Quilt: For Dummies
3. Tote bag
Now mommypotamus hooked us up here a big one! You don’t even need to hold a needle and thread for this one. So simple! All you need is a pair of scissors and an old t-shirt and voila! You have cute shopping bags for next time you want to go for a grocery run. Check out mommypotamus.com and tell us if you don’t just get up and make one of these 😀
4. Turn It Into a Workout Shirt:
How timely is this? I’m challenging myself to work out during Quarantine and what more motivation do I need than making my very own work out vest from an old T-shirt? Check out Rabbit Food For My Bunny Teeth for the complete step-by-step.
5. Basket
And last but not least, a cute basket to put stuff in. What “stuff” means is entirely up to you. This may take a few hours but the result is totally worth it. Also, it’s cute! So why? Check out instructables for the full tutorial.
Let us know if you tried out any of these and share the outcome 😊 Don’t worry, this is a safe space 😉 If you just want to design your own cool t-shirt, then go ahead to our main site. Happy stitching!
