I have many polo shirts from when I was in high school. Now in college I don't need them anymore but I don't want to trow them away.
I was wandering, what Can I do to modify those polo shirts to wear them?

Were these part of a school uniform? Could you sell them to students who are still in the high school? Otherwise, why can you not wear them now? |

Tee shirt reconstruction seems to be popular with crafty young people. I have never tried it but there are some books on the subject. Two of them are: Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt and 99 Ways to Cut, Sew, Trim, and Tie your T-Shirt into Something Special. I am sure some of the ideas could also be done with polo shirts. You could try googling tee shirt reconstruction. |

You could also make a quilt with them! |

I had a few polos from a job where they were required as part of a uniform. I carefully picked out the company logo, which left a couple tiny holes where the stitching had been thick. I applied ripstop to the holes and then attached a small iron-on applique to the same location and had new shirts to wear without advertising. I imagine you could also use dye to change the color first, esp if they were white. You could embellish around the collar and/or sleeve edges. |
