Let’s be honest, we all have that pile of “someday I’ll wear this again” T-shirts lurking in the back of our closets.
But what if I told you those forgotten tees could become skirts, bags, accessories, and stylish new tops… without spending a dime?
I’ve rounded up 20+ of my favorite T-shirt upcycling tutorials from the past decade (yep, all the way back to 2013!) and bundled them together in one epic video. These projects range from no sew magic to easy sew transformations – all beginner-friendly and budget-proof. And yes, I even included a brand new 2025 tutorial featuring a Hawaiian shirt-style tee with hidden pockets.
If I can keep refashioning my tees after more than a decade of DIY, you can too. Let’s dive in:
