Recycle Your Old T-Shirts and Create A Personal, One-of-a-Kind Quilt

If you have some sewing experience and a bunch of old T-shirts, you can turn those shirts into a quilt!

A while ago, I shared a tutorial for recycling old clothes into home decorations. In it, I mentioned a popular trend for recycling old graphic T-shirts: making a quilt. I’d always liked the idea; it seemed like a nice way to eke out more use from old clothes that aren’t wearable anymore. But I never seemed to have enough old T-shirts collected to make a decent-sized quilt. Well, after a recent…

Fabric bracelets part 2: embroidery

These took so long but it was so worth it, I'm very proud of these

[Image ID: six images of three different fabric cuff bracelets. One is a blue/purple cuff with green wavy leafy vine embroidery that curls towards both ends of the bracelet. The design is on both sides of the spikes down the length of the bracelet, same placement as the others. All three bracelets have small metal spikes down the middle. The second bracelet is a desaturated red color, with a gray barbed wire design along both sides of the spikes. The third bracelet is a red and black flannel pattern, with a lighter silvery gray barbed wire embroidery in a slightly different style. The first barbed wire design is a little more stylized while the one on the black and red cuff is a little more realistic looking in its shape, but both are simplistic designs. All bracelets have button closures and three buttons to allow the wearer to adjust the size. All bracelets are roughly 9-10.5 inches long when open and flat and 2.5 inches wide. End ID]

This year, I’m trying to not buy new fabric and to use the fabrics and scraps I already have. Here is a quilted vest I made using some coton scraps.

The vest pattern is the Gabriela from FibreMood.

I cut 3 1/2’’ squares for the quilt!

it has come to my attention some people don't donate their clothes????

DONATE YOUR FUCKING CLOTHES

it doesn't matter if you give them to a local shelter, a thrift shop, dropbox at a church or next to a dollar store, give them directly to a homeless person or to other family/friends that would fit them, any of these are very accessible options and it SHOCKS me that some people just throw away the clothes they don't fit/want anymore. what the FUCK.

and the thing about donating your old clothes is that it also doesn't matter if you're rich or middle class or poor or even homeless, if you have extra clothes you no can no longer fit or no longer need, you donate them.

i don’t know what you upper-middle class fuckers are up to 😭 there's a whole system we got going on here where you get your new clothes THAT YOU NEED from local thrift shops or dropboxes, wear those clothes as long as you can, and then when you cannot fit them or have excess clothes to get rid of, you donate them for the next round of people that need them. don't tell me poor people are the only ones who know how to do shit responsibly???

and i would like to emphasise childrens clothes are a MUST donate. adults' bodies will change and may not always fit the same clothes, but childrens clothes especially do not last and cannot be wasted. please. fucking. donate. your. child's. outgrown. clothes.

small children's clothes are a very big need for lower class people because unlike being a teen or adult, where you can modify your stuff, there is literally nothing else for small kids to wear. babies and toddlers and elementary kids NEED clothes, and babies and toddler and elementary kids' clothes do not last their lifetime. it is SUCH A SIMPLE SOLUTION.

[not to say everyone should necessarily get kids' clothes from donations - if you're upper class and have the money to buy new kids clothes, that's okay, and honestly probably better with the current state of consumerism because it's the lower class people that need the donations.]

hell the clothing dropbox at my therapy office is my main source of clothes (both getting and giving) and nearly all of it is just large men's pants.

please consider that there are people of all ages and sizes out there that need clothes, i honestly think that should be an obligation for EVERYONE. thank you for listening and please stay sustainable.

“I am wearing the latest design from my tie series entitled The Snake Tie from my brand I Feel Like Bambi, paired with some of my favorite thrift finds. I sew the ties from up-cycled suit fabrics, so they’re completely sustainable which is very important to me. I would say my style is inspired by stories and characters. I like to dress based on how I’m feeling and what I’m thinking about. I also made The Friendship Tie, The Lover Tie, and The Loner Tie. So naturally I wanted to make a piece about someone who was a snake to me.“

tips on how to reuse old clothes/fabric into different types of bags

[dumpster-divers-unite]

It’s ALWAYS when you recover enough from an episode of severe burnout to have the mental energy to complete your 70 unfinished projects that the crotch of your pants have the damn NERVE to start to rip at the crotch. Why.

To add to the already huge pile; my friend needs their pants repaired because the material is getting thin. ‘Tis the season for your hooch to see the outside world I suppose.
