Refashioning T-shirts seems to be all the craze these days. It's easy to see why: The possibilities are endless. And who doesn't have a pile of old shirts, whether they are worn or brand new? From a headband to yoga pants and from a quilt to a one-shoulder top, check out some of the best upcycled T-shirts tutorials we've found around the web.
When Alisa saw a pillow at Target that she really liked, she didn't buy it — she made it herself, down to the cute ruffles swirling the pillow. The ruffles are also the perfect way to hide any imperfections. And the end result is even better than the original inspiration.
See how the upcycled T-shirt pillow is made at The Sweet Life.
This no-sew upcycle project turns an oversized T-shirt into a fitted one in just an hour. Now you can actually wear — out in public — those large shirts that are probably in a pile in the closet. While it would take less time if you sew the sides, we can guarantee it wouldn't look as cute!

Why spend more than $48 for a shirt from Anthropologie when all you need is two T-shirts, scissors, thread and some pins to make your own? Sarah shows you how to create that pleated look, and spent no more than two hours on the entire project. Who can tell the difference? We sure can't!
