Looking for a fast and fun project? Why not make your favorite tees something else with these 10 awesome ways to deconstruct a t-shirt!

My friend Sherri has been deconstructing her band T-Shirts for years. I always wished I had her talent. A while ago, I did a search on Pinterest to see how many ways there were to create a new shirt from a simple old tee. There are so many great tutorials out there! This is an excellent way to make a T-shirt into something spectacular and even though the sun is not out too much right now, they still look great layered over long sleeves. This would make a great project to do with your teen or tween this weekend! Here are 10 awesome ways to deconstruct a T-shirt.

10 Awesome Ways to Deconstruct a T-Shirt

Sew What’s Happening has a great tutorial for making a very simple Asymmetrical Tank with Bow. This one looks super simple and requires only minimal sewing.

If you liked that one, you will like this Emma Pillsbury T-Shirt with a bow from iCandy Homemade. It’s a little more complicated than some t-shirt reconstructions, but very cute!

Turn any T-shirt into a Shrug with this amazing tutorial from EVEnl via Cut out & Keep.

Since I am kind of a bigger gal, I love that this Empire Cut Blouse from a T-Shirt by Guaya is something I can make and have it look great!

Bisozozo has a great no-sew T-shirt reconstruction on their site. I love this one! I think it would be great for teens if layered with a cami.

Wobisobi is like the queen of all sites dedicated to T-shirt deconstruction. Check out this simple tutorial for a Skull Cut-Out Tee.

Another great no-sew Tee is this Work-out Shirt from a T by DIY Damsels. This one would literally take you 10 minutes to do!

If you happen to be petite, this Pipe Vault T-Shirt Dress from Tally’s Treasury is perfect. If you aren’t that petite, you could make one for any little girls you know!

Create a whole wardrobe of these T-shirt to Tanks from Crafterhours. They look simple and require very minimal sewing.

Creating Laura has a very nice No-Sew Bow Back Tank on her site. Very minimal skills needed for this one and so cute!

Do you deconstruct T-shirts yourself? I would love to know which patterns you would like to try!

      There are 2 grey shirts. The skull cut-out tee and the No-Sew Bow Back Tank. I checked and the links are working for both of those shirts.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
