I use them for painting projects, waxing over chalk paint, staining, cutting them up to sew things with, making t shirt yard for rugs, and right now my dog is wearing one to keep most of the mud off his fur as he tears through the muddy yard after squirrels and his observation of people walking by or the garbage man stopping at the neighbors!
they make great pet bed covers(either use once and toss or rewash and use over and over);tear up and use as cleaning rags or dusting cloths ; paint cloths/rags;tear into strips and use as weaving material great for rag rugs or lrg tote bags; make nice no sew pillow cases;cut off the fronts of memorabilia shirts and use to make keepsake quilt;they make nice stuffing for either pillows or even pet beds
Right now you could make some protective masks for seniors, the disabled and nursing and hospital facilities. T-shirt and pillow case fabric are two recommended fabrics. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube. Be sure to sanitize and put each in a ziplock bag before distributing.
Hi! I use them for rags once they have gotten stains, paint, etc. on them. If they can't be put in the donation bin and the color is pretty, I sometimes use strips of them in rag wreaths or weaving.
I love to take them a part and make a yarn out of them or simply use them for Mod Podge applications, create puppets , there are soooo many ways to use them
It depends on the quality of the old shirt. If it's tattered, I use it as a rag. If the color has faded but it is otherwise fine, it becomes loungewear or even pajamas. I have yet to turn them into yarn, but it's on my list of things to do.
This is a fun and all-natural method to tie dye. You can use it for T-shirts or any cotton material. It's a fun project for the kids too. Hope it helps with some inspiration. Hugs, Holly
Make Cushions, make child size T shirts, Dye or Tie Dye them, Slash them, Embellish them, Cut them into a long ribbon and use as you would knitting/Crochet yarn.

If you have a dog that is cold put the t-shirt on so you see the front tie the bottom in a knot so they don’t pee on it.
t’s are good for dust rags.
cleaning things that you can’t wash, it’s old Destined for the trash anyway. like the end of season grill cleaning.
