    Re: Old T-shirts

    lay down those big t shirts and above that lay your tshirt, mark the outline with seam allowance, you can change the neckline too! You can make it to tubetop or spaghetti top also! It is a great hobby you know!
    For even more steps, please write how do you want that dress to be converted?

    Re: Old T-shirts

    One of my friend collects all her son's old clothes and takes it to india (when she makes a trip) and gives it to the needy / orphanage there.

    I am not sure whether we would have so many things to carry from here to India every time unless otherwise if one returns for good.

    So, it is a good idea to take it there and serve the needy. Hope you can do the same!

    Regards

    Re: Old T-shirts

    hi,
    one idea i got is to make pillow cover..
    measure ur pillow and mark it on the tshirt(rectangle shape)..then sew three sides leaving one small side...then cut from all the four side leaving i inch of cloth from each side..
    i've not tried it yet but i will try..
