T-shirt Projects

Making Scarves with Threadbanger

Happy New Year! I happily spent the end of the decade and the beginning of the next in a delightfully tropical locale where a T-shirt is commonly worn as just that: a T-shirt. But the cold winds blowing back in Brooklyn demand another use for that spare jersey fabric: the scarf. So, as promised, here are just a few of the ways to transform a T-shirt into a scarf, in cooperation with our dear friends at Threadbanger! (And come to think of it, because they’re so lightweight, and can be layered, these scarves actually could be worn in any climate…warm or cold.)

    That was pretty cool, but I really liked the patchwork scarf from the first book, and the Diamond Mine scarf from the second–if I just had a sewing machine and some pinking shears, I’d make both.

    Hi!

    I’m very excited to have found your site and can’t wait to try some of the projects! Can you tell me if one of your books has the instructions to make a cowl like the one pictured below?

    Also, I found the 120 ideas book on the barnes and noble website but I can’t seem to find the 108 ideas book .. can you direct me where to go?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Sara — Thanks for visiting! I can’t view the link you posted, but there is a cowl-neck dress in Generation T: Beyond Fashion that might be similar to what you have in mind. In the meantime, here’s the B&N link for the first book: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/generation-t-megan-nicolay/1111605578?ean=9780761137856 Both books are available wherever books are sold!
