How often have you found a shirt that you love the logo of, but the size or color is off? This just means taking the logo off one shirt and putting it on a different shirt. It is a quick and easy solution, plus it gives you a unique shirt that you won’t see anyone else wearing.
Learning How to Up-Cycle a T-Shirt Logo is, as we said, pretty simple.
1. Assemble your tools: Cutting Board, Pins, Scissors or Rotary tool, chalk, sewing machine, or sewing kit.
Rotary mats are very helpful if you do not want to cut whatever is under your shirt. Do not put your shirt on the bed or table and start cutting; you may cut up the bedspread or tablecloth along with the shirt.
2. Pick the logo you are going to keep and the shirt you are going to put it on…color, texture, size. You are only limited by your imagination. Be sure the new shirt will be one that is as comfortable and that you love as much as the old one.
3. Chalk off your design. (You can freehand cut, but if this is your first attempt, just don’t.)
4. Cut your design out. You can follow the outline of the design or cut an oval or a square. It depends on what look you are going for. Make sure to leave a little space around the design for the sewing line.

5. Pin the logo to the new shirt. Be sure not to pin the back to the front. You can put the logo anywhere on the shirt that you want it. The logo can go back like it was on the other shirt, or something more artistic, your call.
6. Sew the old logo to the new shirt. You have a multitude of options on thread color, shirt color, and design outline.
And just like that, you know How to Up-Cycle a T-Shirt Logo. In six easy steps, you have an “up-cycled” shirt completely unique to you. You can repeat this as many times as you need to up-cycle your wardrobe or use all those logos you just can not do away with.
Now, will it be smooth and perfect the first time? Probably not. Unless you are very lucky or very artistic, it will likely take several tries to get things exactly like you want them. But it will be a learning experience.
A few tips…Cottons are easier to sew than silks and rayons. Silks and Rayon tend to crawl off your machine. There are fusible backings that you can iron onto your logo to give it some body. When in doubt, you can always baste your design onto the new shirt if using pins and your machine makes things sketchy. For those of you who are new to sewing, Baste means to sew in by hand.
So don’t throw that old favorite logo away just because the shirt has been damaged or shrunk in the dryer. Give it a new life and continue to enjoy it. And nobody will have a shirt exactly like yours. And do not forget you can up-cycle the shirt leftovers into another great, unique item. If there is just nothing left of the shirt when you are done, cut it up for rags.
We hope How to Up-Cycle a T-Shirt Logo has been of help to you and maybe given you an idea of your own.
