Upcycling

Recycling shirts is my favorite way to sew...it is economical, shirt fabric is usually of excellent quality, and the buttons and holes are already there.  However, I want people to be surprised that the finished product was a shirt rather than "Oh, that was a shirt, wasn't it".

For example, I made the three bathing suits out of an Ralph Lauren Searsucker shirt.

Bathing suits for my 3 little cuties.

The Gap shirt is now a romper with a hand painted applique.
 

or the Hollister shirt is now little overalls
