My idea was that they can be used at shirts with a hood, to pull the cord through...Most of the time you make a small buutonhole and you have to stabilize that when you use thin, stretchy material...
Sometimes shirts have also a cord in the hem... you could them use them then also... I think....
correct me if I'm wrong...

That sounds excellent - we call them 'hoodies'.

That sounds like a pretty good idea!

I just got there in time to categorize two in the Canadacosters. I got 7 points.

I think t-shirt tabs are what you pull one end of the tail of your t-shirt thru instead of tying the tail of the shirt in a knot you pull it thru the tab.

I'm sorry... tying the tail of the shirt in a knot....????
You lost me there...

but I have taken a closer look at the designs... and I thought I knew how to use them, but I'm still a bit puzzled...
they are not really small....so maybe to use them with hoodies is not really the idea??
sigh... I don't know...
Could someone please enlighten us???? (The designer of the set???)

**windstar** · August 21st, 2009

(and I took the liberty to post this picture in the dutch corner...hope you don't mind? Not all the girls overthere are good with englisch and they don't read in this section)

Never had this in the mind when I read Tshirt tab, but it looks great!
So you also could use it to adjust a scarf

**windstar** · August 21st, 2009

Yes you could use it to adjust a scarf and if you have the software and get creative you could remove the design and monogram it.

**RamonaZ** · August 21st, 2009

That is a great idea, but how do you keep the shirt from pulling out?

windstar is right (of course!

) - rob posted a similar picture-link in another thread.
I think the great thing about crafts is that you can make things to suit your own purpose, no matter what they were originally designed for!
I think the scarf idea is a good one.

When it is threaded through both 'buttonholes' there will be enough of a bend in it to stop it pulling out too easily. If you use quite a stiff backing it will work best I should think.

E Z felt is a really stiff felt and would be perfect. You can get it at hobby stores and it comes in colors and is a bit larger than your regular felt square. This felt would also be perfect for the ponytail holders.

Three new sets all in one go.
Must dash off and investigate.....
happy happy happy

**jstitch** · August 21st, 2009

Can't believe three new sets for me to enjoy this morning. They all appeared while it was the middle of the night for me. I figured that would happen. LOL What a surprise to wake up to, though.

Sorry you missed the 'categorizing frenzy' LOL but it is still a nice morning treat to have so many to look through.
(I was lucky to get the tail end of categorizing the first two, and managed all of the last one. - not many got full points because they were hard to decide, but it was fun having a go.)
