Confession: I am really bad at t-shirt crafting. One night my sister and sister-in-law and I decided to do a t-shirt themed craft off. While they made cute and tasteful altered tees, I made a brown t-shirt with orange ruffles that were sewn on in a triangular formation. That’s right, a brown t-shirt with an orange ruffled traffic cone on it. Huge CraftFail! I just got this book, 101 Tees by my friend Cathie Filian, and I have high hopes that Cathie’s going to help me overcome my t-shirt crafting challenges with all the great ideas in the pages of her book.
101 Tees: Restyle + Refashion + Revamp, by Cathie Filian
Lark Crafts, 2011
List Price: $14.95
101 Tees at Amazon
I really love t-shirt crafts, though, as you can tell by the sheer number of t-shirt crafts we have shared here at Dollar Store Crafts. I love that Dollar Tree has been carrying t-shirts for the past year or so – that makes dollar store crafting with t-shirts easy (even if you don’t have any old t-shirts to use for crafts). The great thing about 101 Tees is that it focuses on embellishing your t-shirts (instead of reconstructing them), so most of the techniques are suitable for crafters of almost any skill level.
The projects range from ruffles, dyeing, stenciling, iron-ons, embroidery, and more. There’s a whole chapter with ideas for the boys and men in your life, too. The book has lots of fun ideas and introduction to each kind of technique. Basically, there’s something for everyone. (Side note: if you have a daughter or grand-daughter who is interested in sewing, crafting, or fashion design, this could be a really fun book for her to look through. I guarantee she will find some fun projects to do.)
Now for a Giveaway!

Been excited about the book since it came out! My library doesn’t have it yet, but still hoping! thanks for the giveaway!
Rosa Salgado
My fav is the tshirt with the bleach pen designs – even I can do that and not fail.
Stephanie D.
I really REALLY hope to win this! I had to wear a staff T-shirt like everyone else’s at camp and hated it, so I added a ruffle and puffed the sleeves and lowered the neckline… so many people liked it that they asked me to teach a t-shirt alteration class at camp next summer! This would REALLY help me plan!
Rachel
One of my first sewing projects was converting some of the many oversized tee-shirts into pillow cases. What a great way to use up those awkwardly large or stretched out shirts and make them in to something functional!
Cheryl B
Would love to win this book; I think it would be perfect for projects with my Girl Scout troop. Thanks for offering it as a giveaway.
Kathy Evans
I would love to check out this book, and free is a great way to do it! My favorite thing I did with a t-shirt was make my daughter a pair of shorts.
Sarita
I love Cathie Filian! I miss Creative Juice. :( It’s kind of hard to pick a favorite tee shirt craft but I guess if I had to I would say pin-tucks. They are quick, easy, and they add personality to a plain tee, not to mention they make a larger tee fit better.
Michelle Walkenhorst
The only t-shirt craft I’ve done, is tye dyeing! But I want to make a ruffle wrapped, a tuxedo ruffle shirt, or the anthro inspired (side ruffle) shirt. They all look so fabulous!
Keny Leepier
I like altering Tshirts, slicing up and then tying up the sides are my favorite :)
lauren
my favorite t shirt craft is baby shower gifts. embelishing a taddler shirt for a new mommy. they get so many baby things that the baby may never wear bc they grow so fast so i skip a year or more and go for some cute toddler cloths. sadly ive never made a shirt for myself.
Edie S
I’ve never made a t-shirt craft! But what a great way to start, by winning this book. :) Thanks.
Ina
My friends and I have been wanting to plan an “embellish/alter a tshirt party” for a while now. This would be great to get ideas! I love freezer paper stencils (wearing a pirate one I did right now!) I have yet to try anything with bleach, I’ve been dying to, but have been terrified!
Lisa Slaughter
I would love to win this T-shirt craft book because I’ve never done a t-shirt alteration because I’m scared!! I have no idea where to even start and this book would certainly lead me in the right direction!!
Ashley at The Feisty Redhead
I like those burnout tee shirt techniques, and I also like adding things like lace side insets! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

Sheri
All that I have done is tye-dyeing/bleaching. Wanting to do more and learning new tricks!
Katherine
I like the ones for dressing up plain t-shirts with ruffles or other add-ons to make them pretty.
Mama Bean
The only t-shirt craft I’ve ever done is make a blanket with some old ones. I have many olds ones, and don’t need that many blankets! So this book would be awesome to win :)
Andrea from ziezo
This looks like a great book. Thus far I have dyed t-shirts, but with this book I would dare to re-fashion them in many other ways. Thanks for the chance to widen my horizon :)
Katie from SewWoodsy
I recently transformed a large t-shirt into a tank top… and have now started cutting all my shirts to make these one-of-a-kind creations!
Barbara
I love t-shirts but I really love a lower neckline on them. I would love to win this book so that I could get some instruction on new ways to craft with t-shirts. My latest t-shirt craft has been tie dying. Lots of fun!
Damaris
I love making reverse applique tees and combining techniques like bleach pins, ruffles, sequins…just whatever I have availble! I revamped a whole pile of garage sale tees for my daughter for school this year…outfitted her for a fraction of buying new! Would love to have new ideas!
Kelly W.
Thanks for the give away! I’m about to do an iron-on for my little boy.
Mellissa
I usually use the fabric from tshirts to make other things, like scarves or softies or pajama pants for my kids.

Thank you for the chance to win.
Julie P
I love doing crafts with t-shirts! It’s a great way to spruce up an old (stained!) shirt, or to make with a new shirt as a gift. I hope I win!
Ria
My favourite t-shirt craft is stitching on lace doilies and cutting off the part underneath. Classy, yet subtly sexy :)
Jessica Wright
My fav tshirt craft is making the t-yarn and making them into potholders using an old-school metal loom. So much fun and love giving them as Christmas gifts. Costs me $0 just a little love and time!
Yvonne
We like making reusable shopping bags : )
Michelle
I liked making braided bracelets out of t-shirt scraps. I usually use old ones for rags. One day I hope to make a t-shirt quilt.

Tee
101 Tees on the wall, 101 Tees. Take one down, pass ME around and you’ll have a mess on your hands, lol.
I love tees and have collected many of them while being obsessed with making tee shirt jewelry.
I’d love to have this book so I know what to do with the rest of these poor tee shirts I have left.
Thanks,
Tee
Cheryl
I love T-shirts and I love crafts. Add the dollar store to the equation? Watch out world, here I come!
Janelle
I LOVE tee shirts. I live in tees! My girls live in tees! And I wanna get fancier in my tee-adoration. :)
KT Cowden
I love cutting up old shirts and making iron on appliques with Heat and Bond.
Marcie
My favorite T=shirt craft is where I take the design off of my toddlers t-shirt that doesn’t fit and iron it onto a t-shirt that does fit.
For myself, I love to make tank tops out of t shirts. They are super sexy and way cuter without the sleeves!!!
Jen H.
I love the t-shirt necklaces! also have been wanting to make my daughter some dresses out of old shirts.
Lora W.
My favorite Tshirt craft is good old tie dye! It’s so excited opening up the shirts and seeing what your design looks like. Thanks for the giveaway!
Molly
I like making rag rugs.
Kate
The only t-shirt crafting I’ve done so far is repurposing one into a pair of tights for my daughter. That’s why I’d love this book – I need ideas.
Chris
Would love to win this!!!!
Teresa
When a tee is way too long, I cut off the bottom and hem it. Then, I use the excess to make a matching rosette pin that will jazz it up a little.
Elena
I made some t-shirts into a very comfortable skirt–that was really fun! Thanks for the contest!
Laura
I am currently working on a t-shirt rug. Loving the look so far.

i love taking old tshirts and trying to make them new again….but somehow they always seems to fail on me :( this book looks and sounds like it would be a perfect solution to my problem! :)
sarah
I am also bad at tshirt crafts!
This summer I decided to repurpose some old shirts.
A few of them are wearable but you can tell they were redone by me.
I would love love love this gift!
JoyfulT
I love anything that covers the inevitable grease stains!
Kendra
I love t-shirt crafting and am looking forward to this new book. My favorite t-shirt craft is the basic halter top made from your fav. t-shirt. Always super cute, easy and works for summer and winter under a trendy blazer!
Jules
I love cutting the sleeves off baseball tees and making halter tops =)
Aileen
I love to make applique t-shirts using fusible webbing. Super easy. It’s also fun to do sponge stamping with kids.
Yana
when I made kids had from my old t-shirt I was so proud myself:)) it’s easy and so cool!
Anna
I made a big blanket with t-shirt yarn and huge knitting needles. I also like using shirts to make pillows, but I don’t really need any more throw pillows.
Julissa Medina
I wanted to make a large tote bag with a t-shirt from Texas longhorns logo. So I found a 2xlarge shirt with a cute design in the front and made a tote from it and it was my first project with tshirts. Would love to win this since I have a lot of shirts from girl scout camps and school pride shirts. Love it!
Carmen
I don’t really have a favorite t-shirt craft, but I’d really love to have the book to inspire me!
Victoria Sturdevant
I’ve love altering t-shirts for years. Mostly tie-dyed, stamped or altering the neckline.
Lee Steele
Not having gotten to see the insides of it yet, I would say that a bleach pen would be cool to try…but I’d envision it bleeding unless you coated the backside with freezer paper to hold it in til dry….(now there is an idea to try!!)…I like to do tshirt transfer iron ons…from my printer ,where I can design the transfer and personalize it. Cathie’s post on FB made it sound like the Dollar stores were GIVING her book away!!!
Pick me! :)
Julie Wallace
I’ve been embellishing and altering tee’s for 35 years. Recently, I’ve made some bracelets and necklaces from tee shirt yarn and hex nuts and rubber washers and now I’m loom knitting dishcloths and panels for a rug.I’ll eventually connect the panels with finger knit black strips sort of like a Mondrian painting for the floor. I love this site.
Erin
Yipee. My fav was a super low key t-shirt quilt…easy, cheap and a quilt. Hard to believe. Fingers crossed
jessica
I cant believe this is the first time i’ve seen this site (=
I would love to enter you givaway so that i can make cool new clothes from the crap i have now. I have been interested in making a bat wing shirt lol but, i dont seem to have the skills necessary to create much yet. ill keep trying though, im not one to give up haha
Thanks for creating such a lovely website to keep me busy @ 4:13 am =P hehe
Natalie
I’ve been obsessed with cutting t-shirts into vests or boleros lately, so I guess they would be my favourite craft, alongs side stenciling and painting. But can I say that the notebook tee posted here a couple of days ago might become my favourite once I try it!
Judi S.
Reshaping tees into tank tops is my favorite method because it’s sooo easy.
WENDY
My favorite T-shirt craft is anything that is quick and easy and fun. If I am always afraid I will mess it up , it’s not fun for me.
Tara
I like to wash hubsters white t-shirt’s with bright red clothes and make a pink one for him, sadly my t-shirt skills are lacking… Maybe I’ll win and learn some new tricks!
Siobhan
What a great looking book! I love making throw pillows out of t-shirts.
Crystal
I like the recent notepaper tee. Perfect for back-to-school.
Kathy
My favorite t-shirt craft is making a bolero style jacket. I’ve found that men’s shirts have a higher thread count allowing my final design to hold its shape…and they have more vibrant colors…go figure! I’ve made several of these for myself, my sisters, and my daughter.
Jennifer
my favorite t-shirt craft is the bleach pen drawings! something I could do and I just found a bleach pen at the dollar store!
Samantha
I like making braided rugs out of tshirts.
Emma Whittington
I love the idea of this book. I bought over 1000 tees several years ago and I’m running out of ways to change them. Good luck with the sales of your book.
Jennifer M.
I made my daughter a cute braided bracelet from an old tshirt to go with her dance outfit. She loved it. We have tie dyed, rhinestoned, cut, and painted lots of shirts together, but I think the bracelet was the favorite.
Jill
My face t-shirt craft is turning them into tote bags using just duct tape & staples. I’ve done it several times with teens at my library & it’s always a big hit!
Heather K.
My daughter has played for a million and one different sports teams. As a result, she had tons of team Ts that I couldn’t stand to part with. I let her pick 8 of her favorites. I cut the team part out to fit a square piece of cork board. I glued the cut part of the T to the board for each of the 8 shirts. When I was done, I glued all 8 to a larger piece of foam board so that it created one large bulletin board. Just looking at the board with the various team names and numbers brings back tons of memories. We hung it in her room and she loves it! With the other Ts, I am working to make a quilt that she will eventually take to college I hope…though I think it will be big enough for the entire student body!
Carolyn
I love to paint on the T-shirts altho I have been expanding my horizons and am start to re-construct old T-shirts.
Lisa
That book looks amazing :]
My favorite one that you guys have posted is the flipflops with the tshirt straps… Of my own I love my t-shirt bags
Michelle Krisik
I sometimes have a hard time coming up with stuff for Tees, so I use iron-opns alot. And have done a little doodling, and used stamps on tees. Although that was on an oversized Tee the my daughter uses for Jammies. She even designed one, too! :)
Cydny
I’m a professional dancer for a living and the dancers style is very creative. We are broke artists that are always finding new unique ways to look hip. My favorite T-shirt craft is simply creative ways to cut, loop. and stretch an old T-shirt into looking new. I love turning mine into backless, halter tops. Or pretty ballet ribbons weaved through the back but bearing midriff. So many fun things your can do, simply with your hands and a scissor!
Sara
Hi! I’m currently getting started on a t shirt quilt and I’m so excited! One of my favorite things to do is to make patches out of the logos/pictures from a shirt and incorporate them into the blanket (instead of just cutting out plain squares), it leaves a different layout look and more room for adding patterned fabric! I don’t know how, but I always manage to gather so many t shirts! I would love to acquire this book, it looks fabulous! Plus I love crafting with stuff I already own!!!!
Seneca
I have done all kinds of embellishments for my girls, but my favorite was for my 3-year-old grandson. So hard to find things for boys. I used a white T-shirt and soaked it in muddy water. NC mud stains horriblly/beautifully. When it was dry, I made sticky mud and added a little acrylic pain to make it darker and finger painted “I dig dirt” on the front for a boy proof play shirt that was too cute. After it dried, I flaked off the mud, heat set it with an iron and washed it. Any stains that are added to it during play just makes it better.
Patricia Hicks
I love freezer paper stencils! I’m wanting to try ruffles but I’m scared! :)
Tanya
I love the idea of putting the fabric flowers on a t! I am not much into sewing but I am a wiz with the liquid sew glue!
Jennifer
I really want to try sewing ruffles on a tee sing fabric from a second tee of the same color and fabric.
Alysia
My favorite t shirt craft from when I was a youngin was the puffy paint t shirts from the 80’s…we would try to wait patiently for them to dry, but couldn’t & we’d put em on just when we thought they were dry…and then they’d get smeared. :(
carissa
my favorite so far is cutting the neck out and the hems off the sleeves and bottom. then i poke holes across the bottom or make an empire waist and thread the hem that i cut from the bottom through the holes. super easy and no-sew!
Amber
As a new Mom, I wear a lot of t-shirts these days. I would love to make them a little more feminine and some alterations to be breastfeeding accessible would be great, too. :)
P.S. I really miss Creative Juice, too. It is next to impossible to find any crafty shows on TV anymore. Your show was always full of great ideas. I know you guys are still making shows. How do we see them?
Wendy
I would love to win this book. I’m really loving the t-shirts with the rosette’s and would love to make one.
Caitlin W.
Want want want. I can’t afford new clothes; it would be soooo cool to redesign thrifted tees and have a brand new wardrobe for almost nothing!!!
*fingers crossed*
Connie Huntington
I have a friend that used all of her concert t’shirts and made a quilt. Cutest thing ever! My self, I’ve used some to spiff up some tank tops with flowers and beads. I would love to have some more ideas!!
ThatBrunette
I just had a serious fail while trying to do tie-dye with my niece and nephews. I am hoping to do a family-themed t-shirt craft with the kids. I love the ideas and Cathy’s instructions. Easy to follow and to figure out if I should seek out another craft. :-)
Amy Mc
Choose a fav? Oh no… reverse appliques… tie dying… cutting and reshaping… I can’t choose!
Stefanie Gott-Dinsmore
I really enjoyed getting 2 shirts the same color and using the second as flower embellishments. Well, until I washed it. I’m still trying to get those flowers flat again! :)
ManhattanMandie
I haven’t done a whole lot of Tshirt crafts but I really liked the Rosette Necklace we made at Michaels
Celeste O
I usually use my old t-shirts to make nightgowns for my daughter. Also use my husbands t-shirts to make sleep shorts for my son.
Diana
I have not done any T-shitrs other than onsies for babies. I have a few friends that are pregnant I have gon onsie crazy making them cute little one of a kind creations!
Lady J
I am totally excited for this book. I am such a novice in crafts. The only T shirt craft I have done with any success is tie dye so that would have to be my favorite
Mary
I am a bit of a home made shopping bag addict so I’d have to pick making a nice tote! :)
Melissa H
I would love to win this giveaway … the book looks fabulous! Eager to try some ruffles on a shirt :)
MaryBB
I’ve made a few attempts at modifying shirts…two of them were miserable failures but one of them – a recreation of a shirt I saw someone else wearing – turned out pretty well. I used iron-on letter transfers that read “blond” but it was written upside down (so it would appear right-side up to the wearer when they looked down at their shirt). Got several laughs from my friends, but I’d REALLY like to learn few new techniques!
Brynn
I totally dig this book, Crossing my fingers that I get it!
Lime Green Rhinestones
I’ve had this idea (and I’m sure there is a tutorial for it out there somewhere) to cut different colored T-shirts into 4-5″ strips and sew them together vertically with the seams on the outside to create a skirt.
Nancy's Couture
I love t-shirt crafts. I cut up t-shirts that the kids have outgrown and sew them into panties and t-shirt trunks (aka boxer briefs) for them. I also love to cut up t-shirts and turn them into dresses for my daughter. This looks like a really fun book!
Mary Jo
I’d really like to make a t-shirt necklace. I’ve been itching to try this for a while, but I just haven’t gotten the right tshirt yet to try it on!
Jennifer
I once wore a t-shirt reading “Bob Jr.” over my pregnant belly to a taping of The Price is Right. It was pretty funny.
Ariel
This book looks awesome! I’d love to have a copy!
My ultimate t-shirt project are these little neck pillows. Many of my friends are whiny travelers, so I ask them for a shirt and they end up with a travel helper.
Laurie
My favorite t-shirt craft is sewing orange ruffles onto brown…I’m kidding, I’m kidding =) But once I had my son, who was 2 at the time, sit in a pan of paint and then sit his bum onto a t-shirt. At the time I thought it was adorable. Maybe not so much now. My favorite accomplishment though was wetting a t-shirt then watering down acrylic paint and spraying the paint onto damp shirts. I do this to cover up stains. Crafty right? My 2 daughters and I would love to win this book!
Aurelas
I love taking gigantic men’s t-shirts and turning them into sexy, fitted tops with cutouts, tied-together sides, and especially lacing. It’s so much fun! My attempts aren’t always successful though–I made a pretty awful T-skirt!
meg
I haven’t done very many t-shirt projects as an adult, but i loved the t-shirts my gma added ruffles (as skirts) to to make into night gowns when i was younger! and if I win this book would be a great way to get into tshirt crafts!
Megan
I haven’t done any t-shirt crafts yet, but the ones I want to do are t-shirt quilts and turn a t-shirt into a tote bag.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Niki
I love to tie die tee shirts!
Debra
My t-shirt craft is pitiful. I usually cut off sleeves and collar ribbing, and once tried making pillows with them, but have not attempted any “major” alterations. I have a lot of ideas for T-shirts, though, and would love a copy of this book.
Susana
Hi there,
Let’s see.. I love to customize and refashion old or thrifted Tees and sometimes I cut the older ones into strips and crochet them! :D
Thank you this offer!

Susana
Ken
We’ve jazzed up a few t-shirts using freezer paper stencils and spray fabric paint. My favorite one was the one we made of a large bantha skull (found on Bobba Fett’s armor).

Jan Taylor
I adore tie dying then painting on t-shirts. I have a special paint that removes and replaces dye. It looks so cool on tie dye.
Kristin
I love t-shirt pillows and quilts, and really like making men’s tshirts into a woman’s blouse.
Kate
I like to make pillows out of unique t shirts!
Calli
I’ve made a cute art apron out of a t-shirt!
Amy
Iron ons but would love to learm ruffles
DeludedDiva
My absolute favorite “t-shirt” projects: I was given a box full of turtlenecks. Having a round face and a short neck, I absolutely hate turtlenecks. I turned one turtleneck into a one-sleeved shirt, which was absolutely amazing with my zebra print tank underneath. I converted a larger one to a wrap-style top. I’m not sure there are many t-shirt projects I haven’t done…which is why it would be awesome to win this book.
Beechbaby
I’d love a copy of this book! I have 2 t-shirts that I’ve cut the top part off, added straps/ties and made 2 nice comfy shirts for wearing around the house.
Heidi
My first is still my fave! Bleach pens on a tee for my son. It came out so great and he loved it. I’ve gone on to do other things—-it got me thinking of a tee as more than just a tee though!
Rachel Bee
I basically live off tshirt crafts. That’s how I got into sewing and designing clothes, actually. I love to take old/handmedown/thrifted tees and turn them into something I want to wear. :)
Wendy
I’d love to get my hands on this book! I need some new ideas, I love to cut up shirts but end up doing the same thing with them all. Need some inspiration!
Mary
Any shirt with ruffles. Love love love them!
erin
I’ve only ever done tye dye, but it would be awesome to win this book and expand my repertoire
StacieBee
I love making yarn from old t-shirts!
Jenny
What a fun book! I love altering t-shirts!
Susan L.
I love re-doing t-shirts! I’ve made fringe, cut them up with fabric behind it, I just love mixing it up!
Lisa
My favorite thing to do with tshirts is to take my fav band tees, cut, sew, embellish, whatever it takes to make them girly! I would love to have this book for more ideas.
Kim
My favorite things to do with Tshirts are tye dye and painting on them. I used to teach both.
Julie
I like to use them for pillows and for beach bags! But the cover of the book shows me a bunch of new ideas to change them up!
Robin
I work for my local library during the summer running crafts for kids and teens. Anything clothes related we can do ALWAYS draws the teens in!!

Kristina Hepworth
Love freezer paper stenciling!

Helene
I love to reuse old T-Shirt for any creativity projects. This book would give me more fun ideas!!
Gioia
I’ve re-modeled t-shirts in the past but haven’t done so in a long time. I’d love to try out some of the designs in this book! Thank you! Gioia
Sharon Fielding
Since I have had my stroke (hemorrhagic bleed)I have found that using tee shirt material and they work for me ~ I make small rugs from them
for my grandchildren! Thanks!
Shana
I would like to win this. My mom always told me you can cut tshirts cuz it wil fray. So I would never try to so anything with them. I think my favorite t-shirt I did was having to go against this. For a spirit t-shirt in high school, I took two different shirts and cut the front and back apart. I sewed the top around the neckline, cut off the sleeves, then cut slits up the sides so I could tie knots to attach them. Well in college for a dance skit, it was war song so we died shirts then cut a few slits to make them look ripped up.
Iggy K
Looks like an awesome book! I’ve been spelunking at local thrift stores to make a t-shirt quilt (and a few throw cushions)… so even though it’s technically still in preparation, I’ll say that’s my favorite t-shirt craft lol. This book looks like it would be a great way to use up some of the stash that doesn’t go into the quilt!
Tara S
I buy old oversized tshirts at the thrift store and turn them into skirts.Thanks for the giveaway!
Dani
I made floor pillows out of t-shirts by weaving them on a hula hoop loom. I’d love a copy of this book to get more ideas of things to do with all my daughters outgrown shirts!
Karen
I love to decorate already printed with glitter and jewels!

I would LOVE this book. I keep seeing t-shirt ideas online and have been wanting to try one. My favorite t-shirt craft is one I did with my 3 1/2-yr-old son. He had a favorite shirt that he outgrew, so we stitched up the sleeves and bottom, inserting fluffy filler, and made a pillow. Now my little guy has a pillow just his size and he can keep his favorite shirt for years to come!

I was just talking to my friend about this book last night. It is an awesome book! Sadly, I have never had the money to get it but grats to the person that wins!

My fav I think is probably a combo of corset weaving and the princessy sleeves. I can’t recall them because I haven’t been able to dive into t-shirt refashion but I saw it once and it was adorable!
