I've been lurking around the craftster.org boards, and picked up a few ideas. The first thing I made was a no sew pillow out of a favorite t shirt that had seen better days.

Also, I made a skirt out of an old t shirt. Roughly, you cut straight across the t shirt right under the arms. Then, cut two small holes in the seam at the bottom, and string a shoelace through it. Put it on, tie the shoelace so the skirt fits, and there you go. If you hemmed the bottom where you cut the shirt, I don't think you'd be able to tell what it used to be.

The following link has the basic idea. I didn't add ruffles or hem the bottom of mine.

You are so creative GreyLady !!!

way cool grey_lady.

You pillow looks cool.

I like that skirt. I love T-shirt material skirts - so soft and comfy. I will definitely have to try that.

That's a great t-shirt, and a great idea!

I've been making diapers, and some old t-shirts have made their way into the diaper stack. So far, my favorite is a Social Distortion diaper.

Thanks for the links! I'll have fun with some of those crafts :D :jeans into skirt: lol

Too funny!! :rollin:

Thanks for the links and ideas Grey Lady!! :flower: I'll definitely try some. Got too many T-shirts I don't want to throw away but won't wear either. They'll be perfect as pillows. 8)

Another idea for you...

An old friend used to make a skirt from a sweatshirt the same way, except you didn't need the string through hem becase the waistband of the sweatshirt would hold it up. She used it to hang around the dorm in the skirt with a matching sweatshirt.

That's cool! A lot more creative than my method of recycling T-shirts (which is to turn them into painting/gardening/messy activities shirts).

Social Distortion diapers? Excellent...!
