J comme jersey, ce tissu à maille tricotée qui a la particularité d’être extensible.
C'est avec ce tissu que sont faits notamment les tee-shirts.
Attention : il y a beaucoup de choses à faire pour recycler des tee-shirts, donc cet article est un peu long 😋

J is for jerseythis 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 😋

I did a piece back in 2019 about knitting handbags from jersey strips.
https://how-would-you-know.blogspot.com/
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

Now, 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.
Love all the other idea---especially the grey basket with coasters. Will be saving this one for later too. Cheers.

Que d'idées à exploiter...
Encore jamais testé l'utilisation de ces fameux tee-shirts....

So many creative ideas to repurpose your old T-Shirts!

A 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!
Allison a dit…
These 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!

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
Sunita a dit…
Am amazed. Totally amazed and inspired to play with some old tshirts even if it goes wrong.
Lisa a dit…
I 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.

I love turning them into a wall picture, looks cool!

I never fail to be impressed by human creativity when it comes to repurposing.

I 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.
TWW a dit…
And again, loads of ideas for after April.
Trudy a dit…
Fabulous 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.
Vivian a dit…
I 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.
Chantal a dit…
C'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. ;^)

And 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.
AJ Blythe a dit…
So 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.
Pradeep Nair a dit…
Since T-shirts are very popular ... you have given a number of very useful tips.
chrisknits a dit…
Wow, what wonderful ideas for old T-shirts! Thanks for linking up!
You 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!

Long 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.
