After I made three different repurposed flannel shirt projects last year, one thing became abundantly clear: Y’all LOVE flannel shirt projects! And I’m right there with you, I love them, too (obviously)!
So, I decided to seek out other repurposed flannel shirt ideas to share with you as we dive deeper into the cooler months. Plaid is the official color of the season, is it not?
I love how versatile flannel is, despite that it has such an autumn & winter feel to it. But from home decor, to upcycling flannel shirts into other wearables, to cozy treats for pets, flannel shirts are just ideal for cozy crafting. And here’s a thrifting tip from me: Go flannel shirt shopping during the hottest months of the year! My thrift stores fill the clearance racks with flannels when the thermometer is bursting from the heat, so that’s when I do all my flannel shopping for projects!
I should say that I have at least one flannel project in mind for this year, so stay tuned for that! But first, some other fantastic ideas to spark your imagination…

What a wonderful array of projects! I turned my husbands worn out flannel shirts into Alzheimer Fidget Quilts.

Brilliant ideas I love upcycling sweaters but hadn’t thought of flannel shirts before. The tags and the lined mittens are my favourite.
I’m a little obsessed with upcycling flannel shirts…so be careful, it’s addicting! 😉
The flannel shirt is a classic look that will never, ever go out of style. These ideas are super cute and I especially love the Christmas ones. Plaid just seems to go with Christmas!
These are all great ideas! I was going to say the table runner was my favorite, then I ran across the iPad cover, the ornaments, and the stockings. Love them all, and I love flannel!
Sarah thanks for including my chair cover. Your projects are awesome sauce!!
Thanks for including my pumpkins, Sarah!! Much appreciated 🙂 Hope you’re having a fab summer–
These are so nice! I love to make some in flannel.
Thanks, Maria!
