How to Recycle Old Tee Shirts

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Do not throw that old music tee shirt away! Recycle it! This is just another way to go green. So stop. Do not waste it! Recycle it instead. You can make so many things out of that T-shirt. How about I show you how to make pillow out of it?

Great! Go get a needle, some thread in a very scissors so you can sew up that cool tee shirt into a flat cushion. And I will even tell you have fluff it up with another old tee shirt.

Okay, now you have all the right equipment, you do have the equipment right? You are not just reading this article, are you? No matter, you can always take what you read into it later.

First, you need to turn the T-shirt inside out so that the seams are hidden. You do not want the seams that you sew to be seen when you invert the tee shirt later. First you need to decide how big of a pillow you want. The easiest would be to make just a headrest type pillow.

Start sewing in the middle of the T-shirt horizontal to the hem at the bottom of the T-shirt for the headrest type pillow. The closer you are to the hem the bigger your pillow will be. Do not cut the excess material off. This will become part of your stuffing when you invert the T-shirt.

Now is the time to sew up the sleeves right along the shoulder seam. You need to sew the sleeves shut on the sides of the t-shirt from armpit to the shoulder, closing the armhole completely.

Now put your hand through the neckline and pull the t-shirt inside out again, to invert it. Remember, the excess fabric will stay in the pillow as part of the stuffing. If you are doing the headrest type, should have a rectangular shape.

Okay, now all of those old tee shirts that you were about to put in the garbage can you can start putting through the neckline of your pillow. Make it as firm or soft as you want. The more you step back a firmer the pillow will be. Once you have your pillow stuffed that you will need to sew the neckline closed with the needle and thread. I myself would use a sewing machine.

That is it! You now have a comfortable pillow made up of your old favorite tee shirts. Now if you use one of your ’saying’ T-shirts or even one of your old rock ‘n roll T-shirts you will not need to worry about decorating your pillow. If this was a plain white or even just a plain colored tee shirt you can decorate it in whatever way you want. You can sew sequins, draw on it with a fabric pen, and embroider the pillow. You cannot let your creativity takes anywhere with your new pillow.

Do not forget to replace those old T-shirts with new graffiti T-shirts from Astrosauce.com.

Collecting Tee Shirts

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Astros9The tee shirt became the canvas upon which the history of popular culture and music was written. The graffiti tee shirt did the talking, with occasional pieces of text that mourned how those underground ideas were ransacked, distributed and undermined by big business. The revolution was put on a T-shirt and turned into a multi-million-dollar business.T-shirts of the past were once souvenirs of moments, events and personalities that seemed culturally significant have become merely souvenirs that are ironic or sincere, tacky or expensive, elitist or vulgar of a shopping trip.

Tee shirts of the past were once a highly prized limited-edition promotional item available to a select few. These are now hunted down by avid collectors as if they might bring back lost youth and crushed optimism. One Jimi Hendrix T-shirt recently sold for $5,000.

That well-worn “Tommy” T-shirt that commemorated The Who’s album and you have stuffed into a box in the back of your cupboard might be worth more than you think.

Some music tee shirts are seen as alien relics from the 20th-century vinyl age, with an allure remotely from their counter-cultural roots. Teenagers now wear T-shirts from the 60s and 70s that led to their freedom, even if it is only the freedom to shop or buy a comfortable cool tee shirt emblazoned with images of glamorous defiance.

They might not have lived through the fantastic birth of rock ‘n roll but, like most tourists, they bought the T-shirt.

Now wearing an aggressively controversial tee shirt is just an impassive and knowing act of nostalgic cultural obedience as ever before.

Tee Shirt Messages

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Since the late 80s and 90s, T-shirts with designer-name logos have been popular, especially with teenagers and young adults. These T-shirts have allowed consumers to flaunt their taste in clothing in an inexpensive way, as well as to being decorative.

T-shirts decorated with screen-printing have been a standard form of product advertising for major consumer products, such as Dr. Pepper, K-mart and even Mickey Mouse, since the 70s. Since the 90s, it has become common practice for companies to produce tee shirts with their corporate logos or messages as part of their overall advertising campaigns or just to promote your company image.

The 21st century saw the renewed popularity of cool tee shirts with slogans and designs that leaned more to the humorous and/or ironic. The trend has only increased later in this decade and embraced by celebrities, such as Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, which reflected back on them, too.

Astros19Graffiti tee shirts with bold slogans were popular in the 1980s. The story of the message tee was the modern phenomenon of “personal branding”, which usually indicated the wearer’s sense of humor. As well as a climate in which political or personal more generally preferred to be catchy than true. Usually the political slogans and messages on T-shirts coincided with the presidential election.

The political and social statements that T-shirts often display have become one of the reasons that they have become prominent in levels of culture and society. Some statements may also be found to be offensive, shocking or pornographic to some. Many companies have caught on to this trend.
