Concert T-Shirt Refashion

 

 

I had this t-shirt that I was going to refashion to attend the concert. Unfortunately, the last leg of the tour was cancelled so I never got to wear it out : (

I got the inspiration here

Close up of the shoulder. I basically just cut off the arms and made a new neckline. I  made a casing for the red ribbon that I also cut from an old tshirts

 

T-shirt to bag with smaller holes! :-p

After many lovely ideas from great refashionistas, I decided to go with hulibug and Little Treasures' suggestion of partially sewing the holes together.  So, again, here's the before, after and "after the after".  I've put up some instructions at my blog. :-D

After the after!

How to fix the holes.. or shld I leave them?

Wondering whether anyone has a brilliant idea on how to rectify a "gone wrong" situation other than using a sewing machine :-)  I was making a t-shirt bag out of an old t-shirt. This is basically a bad case of not planning ahead. I wanted to get the crochet feel to the bag, but somehow when I stretched the t-shirt material, it didn't curl as planned. Maybe wrong type of t-shirt material, but it did say 100% cotton   :-O

I'll update everyone once I've figured out what I'm going to do :-p

Dotty Upcycling

On Saturday, I spent some sisterly time with this beauty crafting up a storm at the Goodwill Boutique store in the West Village. It was such a nice time! David, who I met through BurdaStyle, hosted the upcycling event. Using fabric paint and pencils I enhanced not one, but two projects! The tees were provided for us and I brought the pants along with me. I finally got around taking some pictures of them both, today.

I LOVE how they came out!! I see so many dot print refashions in the future. Look at what David did with his project. I've already thrifted the perfect pink oxford to try this with, next! It's the perfect project for pants like these, that are a little boring and a little too big. This bit of paint gives them new life!
