Believe it or not, summer will be here and these hot summer fashions are easy enough to make yourself! Most of us have a few t-shirts in our closet that we don’t wear. While you can donate them or recycle them, wouldn’t it be more fun to make something new out of them?

What’s your favorite way to upcycle a t-shirt to create your own hot summer fashions? I’ve used fabric paint a few times but would love to try tie-dye again. I haven’t done a tie-dye project since the kids were little.
I really love the idea of turning your old t-shirts into a braided rug as well. I can’t knit but I’ve asked my daughter to see if she can make me one for Christmas. I’d love to hear some of your ideas?

I always pin these when I see them since I want to do something with my old tee shirts beyond making them into a blanket, lol. I have a hard time letting go of faves so upcycling seems the way to go and it’s easy! Thanks for the long list here.
Glad to help. I’m really hoping my daughter can make me a rug this year!
I like the T-Shirt Revamp with Lace tutorial! Super cute!
That is a cute one!
