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
