From three men's thrifted t-shirts into one woman's refashioned T. It may not be efficient, but it is a form of recycling.
Above are the t-shirts I had to choose from. I knew I wanted a sea of blues. I picked the two on the left and the one on the bottom to go ahead with.
I had to rework the pattern I had to cut out the shape I wanted. I was more successful than not.
Here it is finished. It is completely hand stitched. No machine used (not that hand sewn is better, I just like hand-stitching - and it is a bit unusual.)
And the back.
If you want more details of the journey, the story is over at my blog.

I love all the shades of blue! And the patchwork look is great!
This is a great combination. well done with the handsewing. Like you said it gives unusual interest that you wouldn't have with a machine.
