Years ago, like more than a decade ago, I went on a tour of a Tesla facility, which was amazing, and I bought a t-shirt. Now the idea that I gave that company any money turns my stomach. While comfortable, the shirt was not cheap and the neck stretched out almost immediately.
Not my shirt, I just forgot to take a picture of it before I got started cutting…
My youngest had a craft / reuse class where the take-home project was to create a sock monkey. Except we didn’t have any long socks that could be turned into a monkey and destroying something useful to make something less useful is kinda not the point.
I like to participate in these projects with her, so I decided to donate this t-shirt to the cause. As with all good projects, I started with a detailed plan.

The rest isn’t super involved or interesting. I sketched out the design on the outside of the shirt and got cutting. From there, ran it through the sewing machine, cut the rest of the shirt cutoffs into scraps, and stuffed the shirt with itself plus additional stuffing.
And, now, please meet “Alset” the spider plushie.

Honestly, a lot more comfortable than you’d expect.
