Do you crochet or knit? A really fun “trend” for Tshirts right now is making YARN out of them and then….well the SKIES the limit!!! Think of all the possibilities of yarn in your Home Decor but this is thicker, weighter and a little more stiff. Make a basket or a rug! The trick is all in how you CUT it to make 1 really LooooOOOng strand!
Tshirt Yarn from Craft Passion
Love the plush, thick look of this rug. To offset the expensive price she got creative and came up with a wonderful REFASHION solution! And the baby approves too!

That stack of t-shirts you aren’t wearing or that are worn out no matter what size they are, can become useful again! We always need dishcloths in the kitchen. Whip up some colorful ones today! Or how about connecting them together to make a great rug for the kitchen? Could be fun!

We’ve all got a favorite tee, or someone in our family does. Preserve the memories that tee inspires with a simple, no-sew pillow instead! Benita shows you how, using a simple 12×12-inch pillow insert!

I don’t know about you, but I could dig quite a few t-shirts out of my giveaway pile – I have a lot of clothing that needs a new life! Carly did just that with her ice cream face t-shirt, and instead of using screenprinting she tried her hand at appliques. I love what she came up with – an ice cream fact perfect for kids, or the whimsical adult (like myself). Visit her to see how she did it. The process is much easier than you think!

Sometimes wearing a plain t-shirt is . . . boring. I am a heavy t-shirt wearer, so I like when a regular t-shirt gets a little extra spicing up like what Meg did with her striped tee. She refashioned it by adding a tie and ruffles, and now it can go over a regular tee to make a very stylish outfit. What do you think?

Most people don’t know how much I love bows on things – but, I really love bows. Can you believe this pretty shirt was made from a tee? It looks so upscale, and achieving this look isn’t difficult at all. Visit Michael Ann to see how it was done.

Are you one of “those” farmer’s market people? Me too! We have a great local one, and everyone takes re-usable bags. I recycle plastic bags as often as I can, but I realize I need to take it a step further and bring my own bags! This is a great solution, because not only can I bring my own bag, but I don’t even have to buy it. Just make it from old t-shirts! Easy peasy. Get the tutorial below.

This is a bit more unusual than the typical clothing refashion, but that is why we like it! If you have a bunch of children’s shirts that you don’t want to throw away (sentimental value), turn them into flowers! Maybe the child who wore the shirts is getting married – you can make them into a bouquet! You can also turn them into decor for your home or accents for other clothing. The sky’s the limit! Learn how it was done from Heather below.

As you can tell by our challenge this month, we love rainbow! It looks especially fantastic on white an as an accent (you know, like Mork’s suspenders). We spotted this tutorial for jazzing up a white t-shirt with rainbow polka dots and had to share! Now it’s time to pull something out of your closet and add rainbow polka dots to it – just follow this tutorial.
