Well I had been saving some old t-shirts that are worn out/stained for my next project - making t-shirt yarn! However I read this post for directions on how to make t-shirt yarn and discovered that the t-shirts I had planned to use are not suitable as they have side seams. Now I need to be on the lookout for some old t-shirts in groovy colors. Value Village has 50% off day on Monday so maybe I will pick up some shirts there.
I found another potential project that I could use my old t-shirts for. I have been reading the blog Helping Little Hands and this blogger uses old t-shirts to create appliques for children's clothing. She uses t-shirt material as it doesn't fray and is easy to applique with. I have visions of cute clothes for Little E. He definitely needs a shirt with a tractor on it for his visit to Papa's house as he will likely be going for his first tractor ride.
I also want to try freezer paper stencilling as well. Just have to find some freezer paper - which has proven surprisingly hard to find.
This forum post (http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=64877.0) is from someone else in the Peg looking for freezer paper, they mention a couple places people have found it :) Glad you're home :)
ReplyDeleteYou rock! Thanks! See you Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteHere's another idea for that pile of t-shirts. These pants are super easy to sew up. Have fun.
