Blast from the past! Over the summer, Earth911 ran an article as part of their “Green Eight” series in which they regularly recommend 8 ways you can make your life greener in a various categories of life. Well, July 27th was the day for T-shirts! Here are the 8 basics that editor Raquel Fagan includes (with my parenthetical notes!), but click through to read the full article:
1. Shopping bag (Martha did one; so did we!)
2. Pillowcase (simple enough!)
3. Quilts (project #88 in Generation T and project #63 in the GT: Beyond Fashion for a no-sew version!)
4. Rag Rug (see projects #97 in Generation T for a no-sew shaggy rug or #96 for a braided spiral rug!)
5. Wedding Dress (the article includes this one from Craft:, but let’s not forget project #108 in Generation T!)
6. Scarf (so many to choose from–1 pattern in Generation T, 3 more in GT: Beyond Fashion!)
7. All types of bags (here and here! plus at least 5 more!)
8. Not enough…how about 100 more? (Those would be here; and make that plus another 120!)
