8. Purge & Organize Your T-Shirts

If you are like our family, you have tons of t-shirts. Seems like every new activity comes with a new t-shirt. Join a sports team, get a t-shirt. Run a 5K, get a t-shirt, each grade level in school has their own class t-shirt not to mention the school t-shirt. Time to purge people!

Gather all the t-shirts from your closet and dresser. Pull out t-shirts that have holes, are stretched, stained, or faded. Place these in your dis

card pile.

Now you can go through the t-shirts again and pull out t-shirts that are too small or too big. Place these in your discard pile.

Of the remaining t-shirts, you can once again purge by placing them into a box. When you wear a t-shirt it comes out of the box and stays out of the box. After being washed, fold it and place it back on the shelf or in the dresser. Do not hang t-shirts. This will cause them to be stretched or misshaped.

evisit the t-shirt box in 6 months. The remaining t-shirts can be discarded. Be honest with yourself, if you haven't worn them in 6 months, you probably aren't going to wear it again.

Now, what to do with the discarded t-shirts bes

ides the obvious donation to Goodwill.

You can:

- Make a shopping bag tote.

- Cut up into 1/2" strips to make a weaving project.

- Frame your t-shirt to display the cool graphics on your walls.

- Make a quilt.

- Turn you favorite t-shirt into a pillow.

My favorite idea is to cover my dog on cold winter days.
