There are so many t-shirt recons out there for turning a too big T into a vest, scarf, bracelet, recon to a smaller size, etc. I have some that I cut into yarn to make into a rug. I just thought it would it be nice to have a thread where we could share links or ideas for re-purposing clothes that are too big now.

Here are a couple I have found:

I was thinking of having one of those tshirt quilts made, but maybe I'll play around with a couple of them first! Neat ideas, chicks!

Had this one on my Pinterest.

I've made purses out of old jeans. It was fun!

You can use your t shirts to make a bra, actually. I've seen several guides out there but unfortunately I don't have the sites bookmarked on my iPad.

pillows and pet beds.

I'd love to see the link for the tshirt bra if you have it on another pc.

I forgot about the tshirt pillow. You can make them like the fringe tied blankets.

Here's a great idea for old tanks!

I tried to google the tshirt bra, didn't find it. But, threadbanger has a HOT string bikini. I think I would have to lower my goal weight to wear it. lol

Ok, I'm on my computer. Here are some links

Just make sure on the bra links that if they advise you to add inches to your underbust measurement that you DON'T LISTEN to that. I know at least one of them does this.

Look how exciting I am - we donate them if they are in good condition and if they are stained or worn thin, we turn them into dust rags.

I love the idea of the panties. I might be willing to sacrifice one pair that actually fits to cut and use as a pattern to make SO many more that don't have to be hitched up, don't roll down when you bend over and don't ride up!

I love all these ideas, never thought I could actually recycle my old t-shirts. I especially like the bracelets and flowers, also that pillow looked pretty amazing. Usually I either give away old clothes, or wear them big. With t-shirts I don't mind, they can be 5 sizes too big, I just sleep in them. Still I may actually start to be more creative, who knows what I could accomplish.

There are simple tutorials out there for turning t-shirts into reusable grocery bags, too.
