The challenge this month was to upcycle a t shirt. We all have a t shirt or two that just sits in the dresser or hangs in the closet, so why not make something fun out of it, and make that t shirt useful again!
I had just finished a series about t shirt yarn, and was excited to see what ideas it might inspire. I was blown away by the creative use of t shirts that people submitted!
Three of My Favorites:
RaLaCe's braided and embellished tank top. How fun is this??
SweetSomeday's fabulous t shirt dress. She shows how versatile it is in her blog post. It is wonderful for so many seasons!
Honorable Mentions To:
MikesTshirtYarn for his wonderul beanie. Perfect for winter, and stylish too!
What did I do? Well I made a rug! Okay, I almost finished a rug. I can only use the bottoms of the t shirts for yarn. So I cut the tops into strips, and sewed them together to make a braided rug. Okay, to almost finish a braided rug. It is "in process", and you can see the strands coming off the end, but you get the idea.
