T-shirt slippers. My son loves slippers but he only wears the ones that hook on between your big toe and middle toe (These are very common in Singapore!). We decided to make t-shirt slippers - refashioned t-shirts ! I've made 3 pairs so far, and I'm planning on making two pairs each per family members so that at least we still have one to wear while the other's in the wash! Yeah, they are washable!! [Update in Oct 2012: some bloggers have requested for more detail on the DIY weaving. Hope to have that out soon!] Note: This project was inspired by 小石正子 who showed me how to weave the slippers . I've made a few adjustments! You can use any type of material. If you want to use cotton material, you can make it into bias tape so that the fraying edges are concealed, and you have thicker material to work with. I cut my t-shirts into 7cm strips - make the most of your t-shirt!!
You will need: a) Up to 2m of nylon string for adults; or 1.5m for kids (this is only approximate) c) Now for the confusing part. This is how you create a Teddy Bear from a sock. Sew Old Pillowcases Together To Make Floor Cushions. Throughout the years I have collected dozens of pillowcases. Mostly due to the fact that my tastes have changed or I've had to purchase excess pillows for visitors, I have quite the stockpile in my linen closet. Now that I'm moving into a smaller space, I won't need to keep such a large inventory of pillows and pillowcases, and I found the perfect use for them. Inspired by the Bed In A Bag from Great Life Trading Co, my pillowcases would be perfect for these floor cushions. It's such an extremely easy DIY that there's honestly no point in purchasing an already constructed one. Roundup five old pillowcases that you don't use anymore, because we all know it's much better to repurpose than buy new!
Sew them together at the seams, leaving the openings clear so you can later insert pillows. Once they're all sewn together, insert pillows! This is such a great way to repurpose old pillows and pillowcases that would otherwise collect dust in the closet or end up in the trash. Heut ist ein Fest bei den Fröschen am See – The Frogs Are Having A Party « Babajezas Wundertüte. Das Schnittmuster für die lustigen Frösche und der grassgrüne Lieblingspulli, der wegen eines Flecks im Altkleidersack lag, sind wie geschaffen für einander. Aus dem alten grünen Pullover schneidet man die Teile gemäss Schnittmuster mit 1 cm Nahtzugabe zu. Zuerst die Punkte mit einem Zickzackstich auf die beiden Rückenteile applizieren, dann die Teile mit einem Tricotstich zusammennähn; 1.
Die beiden Rückenteile rechte auf rechte Seite nähen. 2. Die vier Füsse rechte auf rechte Seite zusammennähen, Nahtzugabe zurückschneiden, wenden und die man gemäss Bezeichungen auf den Bauchteil (rechte Seite) legen. 3. Das zusammengenähte Rückenteil mit der rechten Seite darauflegen, mit Tricotstich zusammennähen, dabei eine Öffnung zum Stopfen lassen. 4. Den Frosch nach aussen wenden, das Loch schiessen, Augen aufnähen und ein freundliches Maul sticken. Als Stopfmaterial eigenen sich Stopfwatte, Spreu, Styroporkügelchen oder alte Wollfäden, wenn man den Recycling-Gedanken noch weiterspinnt. 30 Tage 30 Dinge.
An old clockwork finds a new use with Dans idea. Dan says: “In my favourite thrift store I bought some old clocks. One clock was sold for 1€ which is a lot cheaper compared to an art supply store where it would cost me 5€. Then I removed the clock works and built them into other things. Into a book for instance. On the inside I cut the pages so that there’s enough space for the clock work. Then it needs a hole to the front for the hands. Through the middle I drilled another hole to fix all pages with a long screw together and it also keeps curious people from opening the book.” 30 Tage 30 Dinge. Yvonne, qualified designer, vintage-online-shop owner, blogger and modern hippie from Berlin Kreuzberg sent us these nice bags. Yvonne says: “I’m constantly looking for old treasures that I can convert into new bags.
I transform them into exciting, unique, desireable and very practical upcycled bags. Each shirt has it’s particular charm and is individual and unique. That makes them stand out from the mass-production and you have a personal companion that nobody else has. By request I can make personal bags out of the shirts from your father, grandfather or boyfriend… … in vintage we trust!” Sac en canevas. Un enterrement au top! - Cabinet à bidouilles.

Tabea shows us a handy idea how to transform tattered t-shirts into useful pouches. Tabea says: “This upcycling project is nothing new, but since I didn’t see it on the blog before, I want to show it to you: sew together the bottom part of an old shirt. Then cut stretch-holes into the shirt, so that you get a steady pattern.
Cut the arms to obtain the handles. Ready is the shopping- or sport pouch.” DIY Braided T-Shirt Bracelets. Sweat-shirt customisé. Je ne sais pas si c’est la mode qui m’influence ou si c’est le fait d’en acheter régulièrement pour le reste de la famille, mais moi aussi j’avais envie d’un sweat-shirt…. Bon, il faut bien dire que ça ne me va absolument pas.
Il a fallu le rectifier un peu et c’est surtout cela qui m’amusait. J’ai donc acheté un basic (très doux), pour fille, chez décathlon et j’ai commencé par couper le col J’aurais bien fait sauter les bords côte aux manches et en bas… mais il aurait été trop petit: si vous voulez vous lancer la-dedans prenez le trop grand! Ensuite j’ai rassemblé mes bobines de coton et j’ai brodé au petit bonheur la chance, une couleur à la fois, comme ça: Voilà, il est beaucoup plus choux. A mon avis l’été arrivant il va finir par avoir de manches courtes en deux coups de ciseaux Vous aimerez peut-être aussi : DIY TShirt ReStyle. I came across this tee while thrifting this week and instantly grabbed it up! I adore the colors and the unique print. Unfortunately, it needed a little make-over.
To start with, it had shoulder pads (seriously, did everything have shoulder pads in the 80s??) Which I promptly snipped out. So here we go! 1&2. cut the neck of the tee wide like a boatneck (I cut the back part of the neck a little higher than the front) 3. from about a half inch away from where your neck cut ended, cut down and out through your sleeve 4. slit the small bit of shoulder left over and then double tie it 5. slit the leftover sleeve into shredsAnd After.... I must say, I'm quite found of how it turned out:) And with a little vacay coming up in a few weeks I can't wait to bring it along! UPDATE: For those that were a little confused I did another tutorial for this project over here!
