t-shirt yarn Sign In/Join

I have been accumulating t-shirts and cutting "yarn" from the bottom half of the shirt.
With each shirt I have quite a bit of "waste" material and have been cutting it up for small rags.
Being an over-endowed senior citizen, I use an
adult bib at home to protect my clothing while
eating.
I noticed that if I cut the sleeves off the t-shirt leftovers, slit
down the two sides, and remove the neck trim
I have a nice tabard, or apron to use at home.
Can have a few of them handy and when one gets
a spot on it, can use the next one.

A 'bib' like tht would be handy to leave in the car. I may not be well endowed (lol) but am prone to slop food on front as I eat or drink in the car. Beats tuckinga napkin down the front of my blouse.

So far I am accumulating for a possible rug.
Want to have many colors and am off to a good
start.
I have been practicing my crocheting skills
and trying out different combinations of stitches
and am not happy with what I have tried.
