How to make t shirt yarn
After cutting the t shirt apart what you have left now is the body of the shirt without the hem and the sleeves. You have a tube which is open top and bottom and closed on both sides. From the one side to the other fold the shirt but stop about 6 cm before it meets the other closed side and I will show you how to make t shirt yarn.

At home - Learn something new
All the parents of small children and also not so small are in a dillema about how to keep the children entertained and happy while in quarantine. There are books and screen time but they can't do that 24 hours a day. With schools closed how does one occupy high energy children at home? I have come up with a number of tutorials where the supplies don't cost any money and children can be at home and - learn something new and have hours of fun at the same time.

The Versatile T shirt
Who doesn't have lots of t shirts in their closet. When it comes to that change of season closet sorting I always find myself with a pile of t shirts that I won't wear anymore. I keep some for cleaning and still have a pile. What can I do with them. The possibilities are endless and the versatile t shirt can be used in its entirety.
