Every Friday I do a round-up of links to free DIY craft tutorials on a certain theme.  Stop by every Friday to check out the best of craft ideas on the net or use the Search function on the top left to search for something specific.

This week I've found some inspiring tutorials that show you how to take a plain old t-shrt and make it into something fabulous!

Laura at Trash to Couture also shared a tutorial for adding this fun convertible collar refashion on a plain crew neck t-shirt. 

And again from Laura at Trash to Couture, you can use t-shirt fabric or any stretch, drapey fabric to create a super simple convertible shawl/shrug with her tutorial.

If you are an art doll maker you can still repurpose t-shirts, this Bottled Lightening Bug tutorial is made from an old t-shirt and a repurposed Eucalan bottle.

With just a humble t-shirt you can make so much, so what are you waiting for?

Oh my goodness. Who knew one could do so much with t-shirts. What a brilliant idea. I love the mens' one with the gathers especially. It is a smart way to make something that could be too large into a fitted, stylish shirt.
