Description: | |
I found myself recently with about 100 TShirts in the house that no one in the family wanted. All in good condition, but nothing that anyone else would want either - like all those free trade show shirts, and high school sporting events, and fraternity parties, and girl scout camps. I love recycling craft material, but was not wanting to do the "quilt" or tote bag. For me, it is a latch hook rug, which is taking forever and will be about 30 shirts when complete, see the picture, and a much quicker knitted (on a knitting loom) throw rug made with tshirt yarn. I thought it would be fun for us to swap a tshirt for your partner to recycle. So for this swap you will send your partner a new or used clean t-shirt, no stains or tears, a little note on how you got the shirt, and what you plan to do with the shirt you receive. The TShirt should be 100% cotton, and at least an Adult Medium. Screen printed are generally easier to recycle than the transfers, but both are acceptable. The color is senders choice. However if you are looking for a particular color, or would prefer not to receive a color you can indicate in the comments below. Please rate a 5 as long as the requirements are met, even if it isn't a color you like. It would be great if you share your project ideas in your comments. This is the first swap that I am hosting, so hopefully I include all the details. You will have 1 partner, to send 1 t-shirt (you can always send more) USA only. Feel free to set up International SWAP if you want. Newbie friendly with complete profile. All others 4.9 rating with no recent unexplained 1's or 3's. I will angel if you send a note to partner and myself after 2 weeks, and there is no response from partner. Let me know if I missed anything. |
