How to make from a regular T-shirt. What can be done from an old t-shirt
Good afternoon friends!
Today I have ideas for you on what to make from old t-shirts. After all, we have a lot of this good stored at home, and it’s a pity to throw away worn or worn-out T-shirts that have become small. So let's empty the cabinets and make original pillows, baskets, bags, rugs and other things from old T-shirts with our own hands.
What can be done with old T-shirts. Ideas. Photo
From old T-shirts, as well as from other clothes, you can create a lot of new products.
For centuries, people have made rag carpets from scraps of fabric and old clothes. In modern times, of course, everything is available and can be bought. But handicraft and creativity are more in fashion than ever, and you can be proud of things made by yourself, in which the soul is invested and creativity is revealed.
In addition, this is also budget savings, and not the one who has a lot of money is rich, but who knows how to save and properly manage them.
Here is just a small list and a photo of what can be made from old T-shirts:
Pompoms are made from knitted yarn in the same way as from woolen yarn, winding the yarn around a cardboard circle.
Ideas for decorating pillows with knitted flowers can be viewed.
From a whole T-shirt, you can try to make a pillowcase on a pillow, and craftsmen make bags.
But even more interesting, in my opinion, are crafts made from yarn cut from an old T-shirt.
Such things can be connected very quickly, literally in a day even.
Moreover, the manufacturing methods can be different, not only crocheting, but also methods without a hook. Let's consider them in detail below using the example of making rugs, bags and baskets.
In the meantime, I'll tell you about what kind of pillow I sewed.
Pillow from an old T-shirt
I had a favorite knitted T-shirt, but I completely grew out of it, so I decided to use it for a pillowcase on a sofa cushion. The idea lay in bed and waited for inspiration, until I saw a photo of an interesting pillow made of fabric, combined with a knitted insert.
And so my new pillow was born. How to make a pillow from an old T-shirt, I'll tell you now.
In principle, nothing difficult.
Now I have such a bright pillow from an old T-shirt.
How to make yarn from knitted t-shirts
For knitting or weaving rugs and other products from old T-shirts, we need to make yarn from them.
T-shirt yarn is essentially ribbons cut from it, the width of which is 10-15 mm and does not have to be even and the same along the entire length, so you don’t need to measure and draw anything.
You just need to cut the ribbons from the T-shirt, moving in a spiral.
How to do it better and more conveniently, you can see in the presented video tutorial from:
We carefully wind the cut ribbons freely into skeins, without pulling the yarn, which already tends to stretch.
We connect short pieces of ribbons together in the following way.
- We make small holes at the ends of two ribbons.
- We pass one tape through a hole on the second tape.
- We insert the opposite end (without a hole) of the second tape into the hole of the first tape and tighten the yarn.
To be honest, I don’t really like this method, because holes still remain here. When crocheting rugs, such a connection can still be used, but for more elegant products, it is better to sew yarn with a needle and thread to match the yarn. And in the process of knitting, it will only be possible to sew ribbons from yarn.
The ends of the tapes superimposed on each other should be sewn neatly along the edges in a straightened form. Then the tape will shrink and the seams will remain inside it.
Bags from old T-shirts
Beautiful bags can be crocheted from yarn cut from old T-shirts of different colors.
And there is another interesting way to create a creative summer beach or shopping bag.
To do this, we need a ready-made basket, which we use for household needs.
We cut the yarn from T-shirts into small strips of the same size and tie each one by inserting it into the holes of the basket, we simply wrap the handle with ribbons.
A lovely shaggy bag from an old T-shirt turns out!
Basket from an old T-shirt
A basket of knitted yarn can also be crocheted in the usual way for us, here's how, for example. By the way, great idea for a holiday! Take a thinner hook so that the knitting is tight and the basket keeps its shape.
There is another option, also crocheted, but using yarn for knitting - acrylic or cotton, you can just use the leftover yarn.
In this case, the T-shirt ribbons will remain inside the yarn loops. I think that the principle of such knitting will be clear from the photo.
Rugs from old T-shirts
Perhaps, for rugs from old T-shirts, there are the largest number of manufacturing methods. And they are very popular now.
Such rugs are light, soft, wash well, and the yarn is budget compared to expensive.
And you can knit rugs not only round, but also any other shapes.
Crochet rugs
Since the yarn from old T-shirts is quite thick, the size of the hook for knitting rugs should be about 8-10.
The simplest patterns for knitting rugs can be used, there you can also learn more and watch video material on how to knit a rug from old T-shirts.
The unusual yarn itself gives them a beautiful effect.
And the second option for knitting rugs from T-shirts is the same as when knitting baskets using ordinary knitting yarn.
Rugs without a hook
It is especially noteworthy that rugs from old T-shirts without a hook can be made, that is, not by knitting, but by weaving and even embroidery!
Weaving rugs
First way. Braid rug
We connect two ribbons: we sew one in the center of the other (see photo).
We got three ends, on which we will weave a long braid.
Then we lay the braid in a spiral in a circle, at the same time sewing it with a zigzag on a typewriter, or with blind stitches by hand.
The second way. Weaving a rectangular rug on a frame
Here we need an additional device - a frame.
We pull vertical strong threads on it or the same ribbons from old T-shirts.
And then we weave ribbons between them horizontally.
The third way. Round rug on hoop
Weaving is similar to making a rug on a frame. But only a round frame is probably problematic. Craftswomen came up with the idea of using a hoop instead.
Additionally, you need to cut a circle out of cardboard, draw diagonals on it closer to each other, cut the circle diagonally from the edge of the circle and in the center.
Then you should place a cardboard circle in the center of the hoop and pull the threads, pulling them through the cuts and through the center, and attaching to the hoop.
Good afternoon friends!

Perhaps, for rugs from old T-shirts, there are the largest number of manufacturing methods. And they are very popular now.
Such rugs are light, soft, wash well, and the yarn is budget compared to an expensive cord.
And you can knit rugs not only round, but also in any other shape, even in the form of napkins.

Then you should place a cardboard circle in the center of the hoop and pull the threads, pulling them through the cuts and through the center, and attaching to the hoop.
And then ribbons from old T-shirts are woven between the stretched threads.
In my opinion, a laborious process, but for information you need to mention it, maybe someone will need to weave a rug in such a creative way.
Mats on the grid
Even fluffy rugs can be made from old T-shirts.
I have already talked about this method by tying threads using fluffy pillows as an example.
These rugs are usually made on a construction or garden grid.
The hook in this method of creating rugs is used only as an auxiliary tool for pulling up the yarn.
Bargello style rugs
Here we come to the last version of rugs from old T-shirts, which I like the most, and the idea is relatively new.
This method is a beautiful bargello embroidery. But, if delicate work on embroidering pillows, tablecloths and other elegant things requires special skill and a lot of time, then embroidering, or rather pulling thick knitted yarn through the mesh, is much easier.
To fix the ends of the tapes along the edges of the mesh, double-sided tape is used.
Well, that's all about what you can do from old T-shirts with your own hands, my thoughts and ideas. What did you like, what did you want to do, what other ideas and tips do you have?

Of course, you can give them to your mother so that she can use them as rags during cleaning. However, you are unlikely to want to do this when you find out what you can do with old t-shirts.
fashion scarf
Want to know what you can do with old t-shirts without any sewing skills? "Folk" designers offer to try to make an original scarf that will enliven any boring outfit. To make it, you will need ... sharp scissors.
Need to:
- cut off the upper part of the T-shirt, starting from the line under the sleeves;
- turn the resulting “ring” with the processed edge up;
- cut from below into vertical strips of the same width (1.5-2 cm), trying to make the fringe the same length.
When the scarf is almost ready, it can be decorated. For this, multi-colored beads are suitable. They need to be put on fringe strips and tied tight knots at the ends.
Pencil skirt
Wondering what to do with an old t-shirt? If it's made of enough that holds its shape well, and you know how to sew, you can try to turn it into a fashionable skirt with a fitted silhouette.
First of all, you need a pattern. If you can't find one, then take some pencil skirt that fits your figure well. With the help of a chalk, transfer the silhouette of the pattern to the T-shirt. Cut out the front and back pieces with minimal seam allowances. Connect them with pins. Sew on a zigzag machine. In this case, it is better to set a small step with a large stitch.
From the remaining strips of fabric with a side seam, sew a belt. If the T-shirt was quite long, then you will get a belt with one seam connecting it into a ring. Otherwise, you need to take two side strips, cut out a pair of identical parts from them ½ waist long and sew them together. Next, you need to connect the belt with the skirt with the same zigzag. Since the hem of the skirt is the bottom edge of the T-shirt, it does not need processing. If the belt does not fit snugly, then you can thread an elastic band of a suitable color and width into it.
Pillows
Have you ever thought that you can make bright pillowcases with original prints for pillows for a sofa or ottoman from old T-shirts? Did this idea interest you? Then what are you waiting for? Making such textile decorations for the home does not require much effort. The main thing is that the pillows are smaller in size than the T-shirts themselves. To make pillowcases easier to wash in the future, you can match the zippers to the color of the fabric. The order of work is as follows:
- measure the pillow in length and width;
- cut out 2 rectangles or squares from a T-shirt with an allowance of 3 cm + 1 cm for the seams;
- connect the parts on three sides with double seams;
- sew on a zipper.
What can be done from an old small t-shirt
Do you know that in the wake of the fight for the environment, the fashion industry has relatively recently remembered the so-called shopping bags? If you are not ready to flaunt your purchases, then a small T-shirt in bright colors and with an original print can turn out to be an original bag. It will help you out in the supermarket and will completely replace plastic bags, with which environmentalists have long been waging an uncompromising struggle. Such a practical accessory is also convenient because it can always be folded and hidden in a bag or jacket pocket.
The manufacturing process is quite simple and depends on the chosen model. For example, you can:
- cut off the top and turn the t-shirt inside out;
- sew it along the cut;
- use scraps to make handles;
- sew them to the top.
By the way, a string bag using the same technology can also be made from a knitted T-shirt. Just in this case, it will be enough, just turning the product inside out, flash it along the bottom edge. And you don't even have to make handles!
What can be done from an old white t-shirt
Such an ordinary wardrobe item can be turned into a very original summer blouse. For this you need:
- cut off the bottom edge of the T-shirt so that it reaches the waist;
- make a deep neckline on the back;
- cut long stripes from excess parts of the T-shirt and sew straps out of them;
- process the bottom edge of the product;
- sew one shoulder strap horizontally at the back, retreating 2 cm down from the shoulder seams;
- measure and cut 4 straps of different lengths, each should be 8-10 cm less than the previous one;
- sew them in a semicircle to the "crossbar", with an indent of 2 cm on each side.
Blouses with lace
You will probably be surprised when you learn that you can make very beautiful feminine tunics from old T-shirts with only a few meters of wide lace at hand.
We offer two options:
1. Vertical stripes are cut from both sides of the T-shirt along the entire length, stepping back from the side seams to a distance equal to the width of the lace. The result should be something like a poncho. A piece of wide lace braid is sewn along the edge of the entire cut on the right side. Do the same on the left. Leaving a place for the sleeves, connect the parts with side seams from the wrong side or from the outside, stepping back 3-4 cm from the edge. In the latter case, you can arrange ruffles on the sides, if you slightly stretch the thread and pick up the lace.
2. Unzip the shoulder seam of the T-shirt and cut the sleeve along the top fold. Align the top of the front half in a straight line. Sew one strip of lace to the cut of the sleeves. As a result, they should become wider. Lace is sewn along the upper edge of the blouse so that a “boat” is obtained. If there is a desire, and the T-shirt is long, a drawstring is made around the waist and a braid is threaded there.
Some more ideas
From strips cut from T-shirts of different colors, you can weave pigtails, which will become the basis for bracelets. Of these, using brooches and beads, you can also collect jewelry for the neck. T-shirt braid is also suitable for making a bright belt. You can also make an original headband from it.
