T-shirts abound!  They are often free gifts at conventions and business events.  Or are part of treasured memories from summer camp, a sports team, or school club.  After awhile our drawers get stuffed and their memories make the shirts hard to part with.  Here are some great ideas for repurposing those beloved (or not so beloved) t-shirts.
