How can I reuse, recycle or upcycle old tshirts?

TshirtKarlie emailed over a clever idea that she saw on the Martha Stewart show recently – shopping bags out of old tshirts:

First the bottom hem of the shirt was sewn closed.

Next the neckline was opened up by tracing a large bowl and then cutting out a large half circle.

Finally, the sleeves were cut off.

It’s a great idea for t-shirts that are too baggy (ahem) or misshapen to go to charity shops – and when they’re worn out as bags, the fabric can be recycled again anyway.

Any other clever ideas for reusing old tee shirts?
