I got one of Wade's t-shirts (with his permission) No seriously I asked him and he even picked one out that I could cut up.
I didn't really make anything with it but I did crochet a circle. I used a large hook and the ball of yarn didn't go as far as I thought it would.
I do believe I would like to do more of this though. I'm thinking that a thrift shop with super cheap XL t-shirts might be the way to go.

OH, I see what you did! And you know, you could use something worn out but with sentimental value, and get a new use from it!
How can a t-shirt not have seams in the sides? I can't even imagine how this is done...
This could make some seriously interesting patterns...if you only find plain t-shirts you could always tye dye them before cutting them up to give different effects!!
cool...now i have to go look at Bob's tshirt to see if there are any that don't have seams.. not because I will do this but because i thought they ALL had seams. you could use tie died shirts and make it colorful.. see i am full of ideas for you to do
Well that's neat...!!

put out the word with friends and you may be surprised what comes to you for free.
I had a couple of gals try to teach me to crochet. It wasn't pretty and I never figured it out. Just not crafty.
Have a fabulous day Ann. My very best to Duke. ♥♥♥
Hi Ann, I have done this in the past . . . the size you made does work wonderfully well for a hot pad :)
Have a great week.

I've made some door mats this way. Good way to get one more use out of the fabric.
I'm wearing a t-shirt with no seams and had no idea that t-shirts didn't have seams! If I didn't know that, there's no way I can understand how you cut it up and turned a t-shirt into what you did! It boggles my mind!
Yep, women have been taking the shirts right off the backs of hard-working men since the beginning of shirts!
Oh my - you are brave, but I could see this becoming something that you play with... maybe tie die it first?
Hugs, Antonella :-)
What a great idea! It kind of looks like one of those old-fashioned braid rugs.
Very Cool Ann! Looks great!
What a concept. T-shirts. I would've never dreamed this in a million years.
What, pray tell, would you make with it...maybe coasters? Or hot pads? I'm curious now.
Wow---I would never have guessed that that was made from a t-shirt... Love it... You just keep learning more and more and getting more and more talented!!!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
I've always wanted to try that! That looks great :)
That is terrific Ann. I have never learned to crochet. It looks like fun. You have a good evening.
