Look at this stack of colorful t-shirts!
I have been going through my familys clothes and collecting up all the 100% cotton t-shirts that are no longer worn. It doesn't matter if there's holes or even some stain, I'll find a way to work with them! If you don't have any old shirts hiding in your closet you can get them at a thrift shop pretty cheap, even better try a yard sale. Sometimes towards the end of the day whatever clothes weren't sold individually will sold by the bag full for just a couple bucks.
Now look at these fun diapers! They are 4x8x4, diaper service quality prefolds. Meaning 4 layers of material for the outer rails and 8 in the center. You wouldnt want to do any less or you could have problems with leaking. The smallest measurements I use are 13"x 18" and I will go slightly larger just depending on the shirt I am working with. I like to use contrasting tread for fun, straight stitch to tack down the center layers and the finish it up with a zig-zag stitch around the entire edge.
I will follow up with a no sew fleece diaper cover and woolies made out of wool sweaters.
I would love to hear your ideas of ways to reuse T-shirts.
(I will have sets of T-shirt diapers in my Etsy shop soon. I will be opening it once I finish moving!)
