My obsession with making something new from old t-shirts continues and I don't think it will stop anytime soon! I saw this idea on the internet and I printed it out a while back. I had copied and pasted it into a word document and I cannot find the link even though I searched and searched for it today.
So here goes: I took this old t-shirt, pictured above, that had, ahem, shrunk, and no longer fit me. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I cut the t-shirt straight across underneath the arm holes, using my rotary cutter, which makes a fabulous clean cut.
Then I cut strips using my quilting ruler and rotary cutter, at about 1/2 inch each, from the bottom hem of the shirt to about half way up.
I then hemmed the inside seam of the top of the scarf so that it would fall in a nice sort of cowl and then cut off the excess after finishing the stitching.
And here it is, on my wonderful model! I just love that we can make things from stuff that we already have and upcycle/reuse/recycle. I am looking at things around the house in a whole new way. Sometimes a little too closely, so look out!
