Five Fabulous No-Sew T Shirt Tutorials

Are you still on a spring cleaning kick too? If you’re here, you know you can spring clean your tshirt drawer and turn them in to panties. But what else can you do with the humble tee?

Just for you, this week I scoured the internets for 5 great no-sew t shirt tutorials. Let the upcycling begin! :) In no particular order:

5) A tshirt rug

I know these things are magnets for cat hair and all the sweeping I don’t do in our apartment, but doesn’t it look like so much fun? Plus, it sounds like on delicate, that you can machine wash… (For a sturdier, more labor intensive version, check out this beautiful latch hook tshirt rug tutorial.)

4) The tshirt scarf.

I love the braided ones, and this collection of 10 tutorials from My Blessed Life is fantastic:

3) POMPOMS!

Ohmygosh don’t you think they’re so cute? And reusable, and probably machine washable if you tie your knots really really really tight and do it on delicate in a lingerie bag? :)

They look a little labor intensive- cutting the shirts into strips seems like it would take a while, but ohmygosh. Adorable!

2)  A tshirt ring?!?!

Ohmygoodness, I love this! Although I have to admit, I’m also a little bit skeptical about having such cute results. Does it seem too good to be true to you?

1) A grocery bag!

Love how -lethal- fashioned the drawstring bottom so there’s no sewing required!

Cotton Prices on the Rise – oh my!

So I heard this story about the international rise of cotton prices on NPR earlier this week and was immediately curious about how it would/could affect my business.  Will I have to dig harder and deeper to find 100% cotton tshirts?  Will people start wearing them out more before giving them to second hand stores?  What’s your take?  Is wearing 100% undies as important as I think it is? :)
