If you are decent at sewing you could always try your had at different t-shirt re-uses such as the cute skirt on the right, a pouch for your sunglasses, throw pillows would add a kitchy look to any home or be fun in a kids room, hand-tied pets toys, or even a crocheted purse or bag with the t-shirt yarn.  The list is endless and only limited by your imagination.  

Don't forget your pets as well while thinking about other re-use ideas.  You can use them for pet beds, pet toys or knit the t-shirt into a little sweater vest for these cold months.  That way your t-shirt memories live on.

I would love to hear about different t-shirt reuse ideas your may have or have done.
