How to customise & recycle your old t-shirts

No offense to her, but with Gianny L.’s tutes, it always ended up wrong. Like, epic fail wrong. All the others, I like.

Excuse me, firstly, it says ““what do you do with a tee when you don’t want to wear it anymore? (and you don’t want to give them to charity for whatever reason)” that doesn’t mean I don’t want to give my t-shirts away to charity. Surprising as it may seem, I wear all of the shirts that I am sent (I receive them as gifts or samples), I have samples sent to all the other t-shirt bloggers that write for this site, and I give them to friends and family. When I’m finished with a tee, it likely won’t be in a state that a charity would want to receive it in.

Secondly, I don’t care for the suggestion that I use t-shirts to exploit women’s bodies, whatever that means. I don’t know any of the people whose tutorials I’ve linked to, and I didn’t get them to take any of the photos featuring themselves (which is the only way I can possibly see any kind of ‘exploitation’ if I got people to work for me for free, which I haven’t done), these tutorials were all freely available to be found, I merely collected them together in this blog post.

I completely agree! She makes it look so easy yet when I try any of her tutorials exactly the way she does them, it turns out horrible! Maybe it’s because she’s so tiny and even failed garments look good on her.

I have 5 girl’s so needless to say ton’s of old T’s! Thanks for inspiring us. They just hit their older brother’s dis-guarded T’s he was getting rid of and asked me to look for some new ideas to recycle them. We will be using these sites. Thanks again, you saved me so much time hunting for ideas.
