So you're about to graduate from college and you pull open your t-shirt drawer and it's stuffed to the brim with your sorority gear. You spent your hard earned money (or maybe your parents' hard earned money) on all those shirts and bags.
Here are 4 ways to repurpose that gear into something you can still use in the adult world.
Make a t-shirt quilt
If you're really sentimental about your t-shirts, a great solution is to create a t-shirt quilt. These are perfect for watching sports in the cold, picnics in the grass and cuddling up in the back of a car during a long road trip.
Here is a great tutorial for how to make your very own quilt blanket:http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Quilt-from-Tee-Shirt...

These are perfect to keep repping your sorority while grocery shopping, carrying books to and from the library, taking to the beach (with no worries of it getting ruined in the sand) and any other need you could have for a bag that can get tossed around, while not being too forward.
These are super easy to make, and you're being environmentally friendly at the same time! There is a no sew version:http://www.mommypotamus.com/no-sew-t-shirt-tote-ba... and a sewn version:http://www.instructables.com/id/FASTEST-RECYCLED-T...
Make a ball of yarn
If you're a knitter or a crocheter, you may want to turn your old shirts into balls of yarn! The soft and stretch fabric makes for sturdy yarn that lays flat nicely for rugs, dish rags or crocheted into laundry baskets.
Here is how you can turn your old shirts into yarn:
Make a dog/cat toy
I don't know about you, but my dogs go through dog toys like candy. Use the method below to make new dog and cat toys for free with the supplies you already have! They might be tugging on your first philanthropy shirt but at least they're getting more use out of it than you would be.

If you know you're not going to use these shirts don't throw them away or let them sit in the drawers of your apartment until you have children, please donate them! There are so many thrift shops and Salvation Army locations where your clothes can go to someone in need, or to someone that really wants it.
