Challenge de A Ă Z 2021 et #AtoZchallenge2021Quilt : la lettre J
#AtoZchallenge2021 and #AtoZchallenge2021Quilt: letter J
Chaque jour pendant tout le mois d'avril sauf les dimanches, je poste un article commençant par chacune des lettres de l'alphabet. Cette année mon thÚme est, dans l'univers du textile, le recyclage, la réutilisation et la valorisation. Plein de bonnes idées de bricolage facile !
Et bien sûr, je ne pouvais pas oublier de vous proposer de les transformer en quilts !
Admirez celui qu'a fait Gail avec les tee-shirts du camp de vacances oĂč sont allĂ©s ses enfants.
Découpez-les pour en faire de la "laine" ! Ensuite il y a quantité de choses à faire avec ce fil, que l'on peut tricoter, coudre, nouer, tresser, etc. Amusez-vous !
Découper un tee-shirt (sans couture sur les cÎtés) pour en faire une pelote de laine !
Cut out a T-shirt (without seam on the sides) to make a ball of yarn!
Des tresses un peu plus longues, pour faire un tapis d'anciens tee-shirts Ă la main, ou couture machine.
Montrez ici vos rĂ©alisations textiles qui commencent par un J : ça peut ĂȘtre le nom d'un quilt, d'un bloc, d'une technique, d'un accessoire de couture, d'un point de broderie, d'un objet fait avec du tissu, tout ce qui a un lien avec l'art textile !

Every day during the whole month of April except Sundays, I write a post starting with each letter of the alphabet. This year my theme is, in the textile universe, about upcycling, recycling and repurposing. Lots of good easy DIY ideas!
And you can play too! See below.

J comme jersey, ce tissu Ă maille tricotĂ©e qui a la particularitĂ© d’ĂȘtre extensible.
C'est avec ce tissu que sont faits notamment les tee-shirts.
Attention : il y a beaucoup de choses Ă faire pour recycler des tee-shirts, donc cet article est un peu long đ
J is for jersey, this knitted fabric which has the particularity of being extensible.
T-shirts in particular are made with this fabric.
Warning: there are many things to do to recycle T-shirts, so this post is a bit long đ
Avec de beaux tee-shirts / With pretty T-shirts
Vos tee-shirts sont des souvenirs de jeunesse, de voyages, etc., et sans vouloir encore les porter, vous ne voulez pas les jeter ? Voilà des idées de réutilisation et de transformation :Your T-shirts are memories of your youth, travels, etc., and without wanting to wear them again, you don't want to throw them away? Here are some ideas for reuse and transformation:

Check out the one my online friend Gail made with T-shirts from the summer camp her kids went to.
Avec des tee-shirts trop petits / With too small T-shirts
Trop petits ou trop grands, ces tee-shirts ou petits hauts peuvent encore servir ! Ils feront des sacs Ă©cologiques et pratiques, trĂšs faciles Ă faire avec un peu de couture :
Quelques petits trous ou tĂąches sur le tee-shirt ? VoilĂ un sac pratique pour les courses, ou la plage
Too small or too big, these T-shirts or tops can still be used! They will make ecological and practical bags, very easy to make with a little sewing:

As long as you can cut out strips of 1'' by 4'', you can make these rugs!

I did a piece back in 2019 about knitting handbags from jersey strips.

The big choice is whether to zig-zag in the cutting up, which produces little "tabs" at each turn, or to spiral round, cutting through the seams which gives a little lump at each seam. I suppose you could spiral around the back or front of a t-shirt and with rounded spiral - avoid lumps or tabs, but you would have slightly more waste...
Wow! Never knew we could use T shirts to make so many things. I'm going to bookmark this post and share it with friends. Thank you for sharing. :D
RĂ©pondreSupprimerNow, this one I have tried--not on my own but asked a friend who's a quilter to use my daughter's football jerseys from school and uni to create a keepsake blanket for her. It's gorgeous.
RĂ©pondreSupprimerLove all the other idea---especially the grey basket with coasters. Will be saving this one for later too. Cheers.
Que d'idées à exploiter...
RépondreSupprimerEncore jamais testé l'utilisation de ces fameux tee-shirts....
So many creative ideas to repurpose your old T-Shirts!
RĂ©pondreSupprimerA few years ago I found a lady who turned a huge box full of our old baby clothes into a fantastic quilt that we still use as a blanket.

wow, j'épingle ton article, voilà plein de possibilités auxquelles je n'avais pas pensé!
RĂ©pondreSupprimerGreat ideas!
RĂ©pondreSupprimerThese are great ideas! I have a lot of band t-shirts I've been trying to turn into a quilt but it's a massive undertaking. I like the ideas for some of the smaller projects instead. Especially the "painting" one - what a nice way to display them!
RĂ©pondreSupprimer- Allison (https://lightningflashx.blogspot.com/)
Interesting! Old t-shirts say a lot about the person you were! I must admit to using my old ones as cloths to wash the car and things with - now I feel rather guilty
RĂ©pondreSupprimerAm amazed. Totally amazed and inspired to play with some old tshirts even if it goes wrong.
RĂ©pondreSupprimerI love the tote for groceries! My ex-sister in law cut out the cute part of a t-shirt and sewed it onto a new t-shirt. You couldn't tell, she was a great seamstress.
RĂ©pondreSupprimerI love turning them into a wall picture, looks cool!
RĂ©pondreSupprimerhttps://iainkellywriting.com/2021/04/12/the-state-trilogy-a-z-guide-j/
I never fail to be impressed by human creativity when it comes to repurposing.
RĂ©pondreSupprimerI love the idea of the stretchy holed shopping bag! I have a friend making a quilt of special T-shirts for her daughter. She's having a great time doing it.
RĂ©pondreSupprimerAnd again, loads of ideas for after April.
RĂ©pondreSupprimerFabulous ideas! I especially like the ones that still display the design on the t-shirt, since the ones I can't part with are nostalgic.
RĂ©pondreSupprimerI knew about the quilts and the bags but love the frames and some of the other new-to-me ideas! My cats back in the day would have loved that little pet tent and I need to try those sneaker laces.
RépondreSupprimerC'est fantastique ces articles recyclés. Avec trois garçons à la maison, j'ai plein de vieux T-shirts. Oh mon dieu, que je manque de temps, haha! Merci pour les trouvailles. ;^)
RĂ©pondreSupprimerAnd I bet you barely scratched the surface. Over the summer, one of the secretaries at work cut up an old t-shirt to make elastic for her masks. She said it was much softer on her ears than normal elastic, and it was just as stretchy.
RĂ©pondreSupprimerSo many good ideas! I love all of these. Although I do have to say that the dog toys work brilliantly. I have (bought) 4 for my puppy and he loves them. They are great for puppy teeth, so colourful and not as hard as rope toys.
RĂ©pondreSupprimerSince T-shirts are very popular ... you have given a number of very useful tips.
RĂ©pondreSupprimerWow, what wonderful ideas for old T-shirts! Thanks for linking up!
RĂ©pondreSupprimerYou found lots of great ideas for using t-shirts! I used strips cut from an old t-shirt to make ear pieces for masks. They were soft and stretchy!
RĂ©pondreSupprimerLong ago I made a quilt top with all my old sentimental t-shirts, but then never did finish the quilt! Ooops. I love the idea for the bags, though.

Wow, didnt know you could do so many things with t-shirts! Pretty cool!
