    No me about to runnn to goodwill 😂😂😂 this is so great! I can’t ever find t-shirt yarn in any of the shops near me! I love this better anyways, there’s so much clothing waste in the world. (And I def need a new rotary blade for this project 😆)

      Rotary blade is definitely faster😅

    Just what I was looking for. I'm a 63 yr old widow who's husband passed away last yr. Well boy have I got T shirts and time on my hands. I love crafting and have even made wool braided rugs. But quilting is my favorite. I've been doing it for over 30yrs but sometimes I need to change things up and learn new things.I want to try some crafts using T shirt yarn, like maybe some place mats, rag rugs and that little basket you made is adorable. Thanks for the cutting tutorial.

      I'm here for the same reason. I'm thinking a kitchen rug, but placemats sound good too. My late husband's been gone 2 years now. I think I'm ready. 😢 Sorry for your loss!

      I'm here for the same reason! I'm 60 also lost my husband last year. And lots of T shirts. I just made several aprons from his collared shirts. They are adorable!!

    This I call brilliant! So easy. T-shirt yarn is also expensive where I live and what better way to get free yarn than from old t-shirts 👚 💃🏿🤸🏾‍♀️ Hmmm... 🤔, me going to see if I still have some old t-shirts 👕 squeezed in somewhere! 😂. Thanks for this! ❤️

    This is great to use old T-shirts.
    When you attach the yarn together in the middle of the stitch instead of weaving the ends in later lay them across the top and crochet over them.

    I found a tutorial for a Laptop bag on your website. Can I do that with shirt yarn as well? What do I have to keep in mind when I replace the material (I guess it will be thicker?)?

      You totally could! It should be pretty similar in weight but I would measure your chain and make sure it will fit your laptop!

    Theres a much better way to connect the ends, but hard to explain. Find other videos that do it
