How to make T-Shirt Yarn using the Whole Shirt in a Continuous Strand

[@faithandrewsbedford5730]

Little did you know that, when you made this video three years ago that your instructions would help people who are making masks for health workers during the Covid 19 pandemic. I ran out of elastic quite quickly and needed something to make ties for the masks. I remembered that loops of old t shirts would roll up but could not figure out how to get alot of them out of a T shirt. Your video helped. I've made over a hundred and have ties enough for lots more. Thanks

[@Dirty_Squirrell]

Little did you know this type of comment would be so tired after only 2 weeks.

[@Sustainmycrafthabit]

Thank you so much Faith! You are absolutely right. Who would have thought we'd be in this situration, making face masks. I' sure your friends and family and the healthcare community you served really appreciated all the masks. We are still making them for friends and ourselves as it looks like they're here to stay. Have a lovley weekend! -Jane

This is exactly why I came to this video! I am a nurse and my sewing group created during COVID for the sole purpose of making and distributing masks far and wide, have now taken on the task of making masks for the local elementary school students and staff. T shirt ties were the easiest way to accommodate everyone's head and I had no idea how to make them. The first tutorial I watched discarded half the shirt! Yikes! Thanks for this video!

[@susannaharnhart4910]

I appreciate you using the sleeves and the torso! Most tutorials just show how to make yarn out of the big tube

[@Sustainmycrafthabit]

You are so welcome!

[@alyssaduong6485]

I don’t throw away any scraps of yarn or anything soft and squishy because I use it for stuffing when stuffing dolls or pillows! So you really don’t need to waste any of the T-shirt at all!

[@Sustainmycrafthabit]

That's such a great idea! Thank you for sharing. -Jane

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

Perfect idea!

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

@@alaalfa8839 Can you show me?

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

And if the t-shirt is made oof pure cotton or other natural fibers, the scraps can be composted if you have no other plans for them. ☺

[@miriamhavard7621]

👍🎓

[@oopsiespeedy]

This is the first tutorial that I've seen using the whole t shirt instead of just the main torso part up to the underarm and the rest was discarded. This tutorial is environmentally friendly. Especially in this day and age when everything is readily discarded.

Wow! So glad I came across this video. My Mom passed away some years ago and I saved several of her favorite t- shirts with the hopes I would find an idea that I could repurpose them into something else. We didn't wear the same size so this would be a great way to use her shirts with little waste. Thanks

[@Sustainmycrafthabit]

Our pleasure Rita! That's such a nice keepsake to have. We hope you've decided on a special project to make with the t-shirt yarn. Happy holidays!

[@suestoons]

Oh! What a great idea! I was thinking of stealing some of hubby's holier shirts but, my daughter died and left me with dozens of T-shirts, not my size, that I can use to make something for myself as a keepsake.

[@JANEEDISTURBED]

And still be able to wear a part of her with you. Like maybe use them to make numerous things as gifts, and distribute them among her family members. Maybe even sew in her intials or something that was her signature icon, name, a symbol, a heart etc. Anything sewn into each of the things you make that's in memory of her for all of the loved ones. I've seen where brides would have a small patch of material shaped into a small heart that was from a deceased loved ones favorite shirt or whatnot, sewn somewhere onto their wedding dress. I thought it was a nice loving idea.

[@JANEEDISTURBED]

Another thing you could do with em, after turning them into yarn, make a blanket using a pattern that'll make it look a lot like a quilt. Maybe add some pictures to some of the parts etc? It's just an idea. Make it a family crochet quilt or something.

[@inkysquidd9585]

maybe a quilt

Can you imagine making your own yarn so you can make something?? Can't be Lazy if you do that... Impressive.

Thank you so much! We're glad you found it helpful, this made our day. This is a great lesson for the kids too.

I have a few high school shirts that I think I'm going to do this to. They have sentimental value so I dont want to just throw them out, but I also have nowhere in my drawers for them anymore. I can knit them in with some other sentimental shirts and make a variant of a milestone quilt.

Absolutely! Such a great idea. Not sure if you saw this, but we have over 20 different t-shirt yarn projects in this post in case you're stuck for ideas: sustainmycrafthabit.com/top-20-tshirt-yarn-projects/ . Hope this helps! -Jane
