Needlework can be engaged not only for pleasure, but also for benefit. For example, you can make a rug from old T-shirts. Such an occupation is quite simple, but interesting. Below will be several options for using old T-shirts.
We sew a typewriter
We suggest to consider the master class, how to sew a rug with a sewing machine.
We will use such materials:
- unnecessary T-shirts;
- scissors;
- Dense tissue for the base of the carpet.
To begin with, old T-shirts need to be cut into stripes. Strips should not be long. Width and length depend on what kind of "pile" should turn out in the finished product. Next of dense tissue you need to cut the basis of the future carpet. Its dimensions depend on the wishes of the master. Sliced pieces of T-shirts spread along one side of the base in one row. Then, on the sewing machine, they need to be touched on the base. And the strips themselves need to beaten in the opposite direction. Similar way to sew the following row of strips. And so until all the base is filled. Such a rug can be sewed from any unnecessary things.
Make a pigtail
Perhaps this method can be called the easiest. To perform work, special knowledge, tools and skills are not needed. We will need only scissors and T-shirts.
For weaving a pigtail, first we will do "yarn".
- To do this, cut the T-shirts on long strips, but in a certain way. T-shirt, starting from below, get on a strip of up to five centimeters width. Cut the strips to be cut to not completely cut off, but as if on the helix. You need to get from T-shirt as long as possible striped. If it stretches a little, then it will become like a thick thread. For convenience, it is possible to wind it in the ball. Similarly, we do with the rest of T-shirts.
- Next, you need to take three threads of different colors and tightly link and weave the braid. When one of the filaments end, they bring another and continue to weave. As a result, a very long pigtail should be obtained. At the end, you also need to tie a tight nodule.
- To get a rug, you need to go to the circle on the helix. It is better to do it as close as possible in order not to appear holes. And try to lay in one position, without distortion.
- From the wrong side, we sew spiral rows. The rug is ready, they can already be used.

Knit crochet
For those who know how to crochet, this method will seem the easiest performed. In addition to t-shoes and scissors, a hook is needed here.
How to make a long thread from T-shirts, it was told in the previous way to create a rug. Only for this option should be cut into thinner, about 3 centimeters.
Next, you can proceed to knitting. To start work, we collect six air hostels with a crochet and connect them into the circle. In the next row, we make the addition of loops, one through each column to get twelve loop.
Conditionally divide them into twelve parts and, when performing the next row in each of the parts, add one loop on one loop. Thus, we continue to knit in a circle before getting the desired rug size.
If the carpet turned out not quite even, it is possible to fix it with iron during the ironing process. And after left to dry on a flat surface. By this principle, you can make a carpet of any form, the main thing is not to forget about smooth flower transitions in the product.
Creative method
Unnecessary t-shirts from knitwear are popular when creating different things.
For work it will be necessary:
- several T-shirts;
- hoop for gymnastics.
T-shirts are better to choose those in which there will be a small content of Lycra and those that are not too stretched. From the size of the hoop that will be selected will depend on the size of the carpet. The process of creating a product is so simple that even the child will be able to fulfill such work. T-shirt need to cut on strips so that there are circles. Strips must be the same in width. Next, each such strip must be put on the hoop. The first two stripes should be put in the shape of a cross so that they intersect at right angles. And then the rest to wear on the same principle, evenly filling the space of the hoop. Trying so that all strips are evenly crossed in the center of the circle.

On a note! It is very important to ensure that the strips are well strained, this will help subsequently avoid wrinkling the product.
Finally, you can swallow to the rug weaving. You need to start from the center point. The strip is taken, the loop is fixed to one of the lines and then in turn, you need to walk through one. Alternating strip thumbs over and under the baseline.
It is necessary to monitor the circles to fit tightly to each other so that there are no lumen. After completing the labeling operation, you can cut the ends attached to the hoop, tie the nodules on them.
