Hello Refashion Co-op. I decided to try and use some of the fabric scraps that had piled up in my sewing room. I needed some new t-shirts and went on a t-shirt sewing binge.
I was able to make 10 new tops of all different color combinations.
I used this Vogue pattern, 8062, for each shirt. I put the scraps together and used all the pieces I thought made a good color combination for each shirt. You can see more how-to details on my blog, I Can Work With That.

Brilliant, can I invite you to do the same magic to my stash; please?
Sign here if deal is o.k.:
- stash provided
- food provided
- entertainment guaranteed (= I'm there as well - which means ....)
O.k., o.k., the main problem will be:
- not fair enough money for travel cost reimbursement and even a temporary family swap/exchange might not be tempting for your side.
Hence: pink envy all along the line for your success here.
N.B.:
You could possibly 'threaten' your family into times of good behaviour with a possible acceptance of the offer above ;-) :-D ???
HAHA! I will think about that one.

That is brilliant indeed! Hope you had as much fun with you sewing binge as it is to look at all those designs and colours!
Meanwhile I had a closer look at some of your results: indeed pretty awesome some of your 'puzzling'. Was definitely worth NOT being distracted with me/my 'entertainment'.
... having some thoughts of seriously hunkering down for a similar job; especially since it creates
a) unique ness/one offs/specials
b) fights scraps very effectively
c) get made to fit 'preferred' size and no skimping with material on very 'uncomfortable curves' of mismatch between 'top & middle'.
To be honest: 'The market' and its idea of the ideal figure for their products ....
Thumbs up (again)
