WTD w/ tons of old t-shirts?

amyinaustin

I've made a rope toy for the dog before w/ them, and I've cut them into smaller towel-sized things to dust with.  DH just cleaned out his dresser and he has a lot - though nothing nice enough to donate really.

I'm wondering if there is a way to make a cute dress or something for DD (he has a lot of faded old UT shirts that might look "retro" if I do it right.

Any other ideas?

maybe a rug? 

we've given our 'sentimental but no longer wearable" tshirts to my stepmom for her to make a tshirt blanket from them, but I don't know if it's actually going to happen.

Washable washclothes for DD's face or use-and-toss for bath or while out.

There are companies that will turn them into quilts. Do you have enough that are cool enough for that?

Maybe a blanket?

There is an advertisement of a company that takes old running race tshirts and will turn it into a quilt for you. It costs a pretty penny to do so but the end result is kinda cool.

thanks for the ideas!  Fjaril - I think yours wins - that looks pretty cute and easy for a novice like me.
