DIY – A Tee Shirt to Panties Upcycle – Stark Raving Mad!

by MommyKnows · 27 comments

in DIY / Tutorials, Family, General

I am totally losing it! ME! The one who said, “crafts schmafts“.

underwear from old t-shirt
I made these panties for Georgia out of Sam’s old t-hirt.

For some reason this made Sam, scream and blush. The boy is just too easy to embarrass. I guess the thought of his old t-shirt wrapped around his sister’s hiney was just too much to take. MEN!

I’d show you how I made them (next time), but Martha is on in 5 minutes. Gotta run! (oh the shame … I need flogged!)

I hope my old drinking buddies don’t read this!

Very creative. I think he will forget about the shorts once being his shirt at some point. Or at least not care anymore.

Such a resourceful gal you are! ;) It’s funny that your boy is embarrassed – it isn’t as if she’ll be wearing them on the *outside*!

This is too cute but I think my older boys would also be a little squeamish if I made their old shirts into panties for their baby sister – especially since she’s still potty training :)

Great idea for reusing a scrap t-shirt! I’ve made scarves and bandannas from old t-shirts but nothing ever this advanced!
