Quilt made of old sheets + old shirts + old pillow stuffing. self explanatory, I want a way to collect shirts with prints I liked or that have fun graphics but not have to Wear them anymore because they do not fit. And I need a larger blanket since I bought a larger bed last year

white whale stuffie for me + a miniature for my cat from old men's t shirt fabric

black t shirt with the prayer of the locked tomb embroidered on it

patch my ancient falling apart target jean jacket with patches in lesbian colors + add Good Luck Babe in orange and/or pink embroidered letters on the back

NO WAIT a hoodie or t shirt with a white whale patch + embroidery

Upcycle a couple of old hoodies into those short sleeved hooded shirts the mascs wear you know the ones. Would like to put fun stripes across the front too

Okay this is my most unhinged idea but you know those quilted shorts? And you know how I have sweatpants that are falling apart? Well. I can just quilt patch all my old falling apart sweatpants into one pair of quilted shorts and then add some type of thread pattern throughout to make it more cohesive

Denim work bag I can carabiner clip to things. Self explanatory. Hardest part would be sealing the denim from a pair of too small jeans so it doesn't fray

Reusable swiffer pads from old t shirts, self explanatory

you know those paper towel alternatives that are like the moisture wicking texture so they dry out really fast? Well. You know what else dries out really fast? old swim trunks. I do not need to explain

I want to figure out how to make some of my old dresses into tank tops or t shirts. I think the main problem with this is the necklines are really femme and I'm just no longer feeling a wide neck or women's t shirt look

Thank you so much for your kind tags on my backpack! If you decide to do this with your skirt, I'd love to see it! ✨

I used ultra-firm stabilizer as interfacing on the dress in order to make it sturdy enough for a bag. 💪

Hope, you have a great day ☀️

oh my gosh, of course, ure so welcome!! the backpack you made was so beautiful!!

and yes!! if i do this someday, hopefully i'll post it online! i'm just getting into sewing rn tbh, so i'm mostly focusing on scrunchies and totebags as projects to do, but god the backpack looks so fun to do too!

THANK YOUUU for tip! i'll write this down! I appreciate you sharing this in my inbox!

omg... thats so swag :0 ty for the willingness to reach out to lil' ol' me... people's inclinations to freely exchange information with one another via tips trick tutorials etc in the face of capitalistic consumerism culture will never fail to bring me hope and joy and whatever (with no disrespect to those who strive to monetize things like patterns and guide series either; ya gotta pay the bills by some means and i support that 100% aswell.)

i will forsure keep thsi in mind :) and mayhap reach out if i ever see fit? for now im like . baby at sewing so i have a few smaller-ish projects in mind to help me get a bit more accustomed to Making Things, and my main bottleneck as it stands is materials bc generally one will hesitate to invest too too much into a hobby before they know if they'll actually pursue it further. so rn im mainly cutting up like. old sets of sheets and stuff in lieu of purchased materials. maybe i can invest more with holiday money or some shit im rlly stingy whatever i got sidetracked ANYWAYS.
