Recycled T-Shirts: Two Fabric Projects

Hello. Tina here.  I had the grand idea to make a headband for me and a collar for my dog, Dugan, to wear in the MS Walk.  The idea came early, yet the time to make it did not. Besides, I didn't have the energy to get out my gigantic sewing machine. Dum dat ta dum…Helmar Fabric Glue to the rescue!

1

Start with an old t-shirt. I used this one where the lettering was peeling.

2

Cut both sleeves off. Fold into the shape you need and trim edges evenly.

Fold right sides of the fabric together into a long skinny sheath.  Use Helmar Fabric Glue along the edges to create the tube.

   For the headband just fold a thin hem on the cut edge and glue down. I ironed a thin fold on the edge of my fabric. I soon learned that the glue adhered so quickly that there was no need to iron. All I had to do was  just fold and glue. EASY!

Turn the tube onto the right side using a safety pin.

Thanks to the fast grabbing Helmar fabric glue Dugan and I were fashion plates at the MS Walk.
