- Cleaning rags is an obvious one, instead of buying chux. I used some in my recent mould war.
- I have a headband I made out of an old t-shirt. It is great for jogging or keeping hair dry when washing my face. Kind of a shower cap, too.
In a search on the net I found:
- Long-sleeved tops and hoods can be made into sling bags. I wouldn't bother. I already have bags. But it would look cool. Sew the bottom together, knot the sleeves.
- As seat covers for chairs. Sensible, but probably daft-looking.
- A braided rug for a bathmat or something. Cut strips, plait them into a long rope, and then sew the rope into a rug shape. Or possibly weave them.
- Some sort of quilt. An ugly quilt made of memories that I don't have to keep pretty and clean. But it means saving up enough shirts to make a decent blanket.
- Cushions and pillows. This one is very cool.

Don't forget T-shirt yarn (tutorial). I've never been game to do it but it looks interesting.
I could knit a mobius or an ishbel out of a tshirt! But I notice you need the sort that has no side seams. All mine are fitted. I'm leaning towards rag-rug...
