Has your favorite T-shirt stretched out or gone out of style? Don't throw it in the trash, give it a chance for a second life!
You are guaranteed to enjoy a new beautiful thing, and saving will be a pleasant bonus.
Transformations of an old T-shirt
Unique and fashionable accessories, a beach tunic, a smart top or even a soft rug - you never know what you can come up with if you have a little time, imagination, and the desire to experiment with an old T-shirt!
Cloth
Same T-shirt - new style
A couple of strokes with scissors - the neckline is deepened, horizontal cuts are made on the back, and you get an original, almost weightless T-shirt for the hot summer.
Blouse
Only scissors and satin ribbons are needed to turn a wide T-shirt into a fitted blouse.
We cut small holes on the sides, insert ribbons into them, lace them up - everything is ready, you can put it on and go for a walk.
Top
Do wonderful elegant top with fringe even a schoolgirl can do it.
To do this, just cut the bottom of the T-shirt into strips of the same width. They can be left hanging freely, decorated with beads or tied with flirty bows.
Pareo
A pareo made from a very stretched or oversized T-shirt will help diversify your beach holiday.
For this purpose, we cut off everything unnecessary: thick neck tapes, side seams.
We put the resulting rectangle with a hole in the center on ourselves, outline the contours of the armhole, bottom and places where the parts are connected to the buttons or drawstrings.
We will process the sections with contrasting trim or zigzag, but you can do without it.
Advice. Plain models can be painted on the fabric with markers, lace, appliqués, and sparkles can be sewn onto them.
For an original decoration, cut out circles from organza, tulle or any beautiful fabric, connect them with a button in the center - a flower is ready, the basis of a feminine and elegant print.
For your beloved pet
Share your clothes with your dog! Measure the distance from the neck to the tail, cut off the excess fabric and make holes for the front legs - you have an easy autumn outfit.
To make the overalls warmer, you will have to arm yourself with a needle, since you will need to sew on the panties.
Accessories and decorations
Headdress
A T-shirt can also be turned into autumn hat, bandana or headband.
Bag
You can never have too many handbags! Bright T-shirts can add to their collection at no extra cost.
15 minutes and in front of us light summer model.
How? Sleeveless vests are ideal.
The straps are ready-made handles. For the simplest option, you need to cut the bottom of the T-shirt into fringe, and then tie the ribbons together.
Decorations
They look interesting boho necklacesmade from T-shirts.
There are two handicraft options:
- tie ribbons cut from knitwear onto a previously existing decoration;
- make something new from scratch.
And in this case, you will need to cut the knitwear into strips of different lengths, connect their ends together and disguise them using another tape, carabiner, or wire.
The use of wooden beads, buttons, beads will make the necklace even more elegant and memorable.
Interior items
Recently completed renovations, but there is no feeling of newness?
Unnecessary things will come to the rescue again. They make wonderful cozy and comfortable interior items.
Pillowcases
Every home has at least one sofa cushion that you can “dress” it in a pillowcase that was recently bright clothing.
To do this, you need to attach the pillow to the fabric, outline the outline and trim off the extra centimeters.
Then stitch together three sides; you can experiment with the fourth: attach ties or buttons, insert a zipper or Velcro.
Advice. To avoid sewing, lay a web between the sections and iron with a hot iron. This will create a seamless version of the French pillowcase “with ears.”
Another idea: to the same pillowcase we sew bow ties along the edges - we get a seat cushion for the chair.
Toys
A T-shirt lying on the shelf can bring joy to children. True, you will first have to 
work. Anyone can draw an asterisk, a month or a heart. For a toy made by yourself, you will need to sew two identical figures together, leaving a small hole for stuffing.
Reference. If you don’t have foam rubber or padding polyester, you can use the remains of a T-shirt cut into small pieces for stuffing.
Rug
The rug is also easy to make and will definitely be loved by your pet.
It can be made from connected knitted strips, wound into a ball for convenience.
Then, from the resulting thread, use your fingers or a thick hook to knit a braid out of air loops, twist it in a spiral and secure it with ordinary sewing threads.
Useful tips for repurposing an old T-shirt
- Before alteration, items should be washed and ironed.
- Pay special attention to cutting: lay out clothes only on a hard and flat surface.
- If you plan to sew parts together, be aware of seam allowances. Just add 1-2 centimeters to your measurements.
Look through the deposits in your closets, and they themselves will tell you what to turn them into: a lampshade for a table lamp, clothes for dolls, a kitchen apron, a fabric belt or a comfortable house dress.
Do not send forgotten things to a landfill: they, like fairy-tale heroes, are ready to perform magical transformations for the sake of their owners.
