Now that it is time for all of us to start wearing long sleeves, what do you do with your child(ren)'s favorite t-shirt? Here are two quick and easy items you can make.
Pillow
1- Cut two squares or rectangles the exact same size. One from the front of the shirt and one from the back. 2- Next, lay the pieces on top of one another (right sides facing). 3- Sew all sides except for one. 4- Turn the pillow right side out and fill with t-shirt scraps, filler, or anything that would make the pillow full and soft. Lastly, whip stitch the open side to close.
Tote Bag/Purse (idea source: Martha Stewart & Parents magazine)
1- Lay the shirt out flat. 2- Cut off the sleeves, neck, and the bottom. 3- Turn inside out and sew bottom together. 4- Stitch around the edges of the sleeves and neck for reinforcement. 4- Turn right side out and you're done.
