Partially Recycled Shirt
view from front

I made a new shirt, from an old green shirt and some blue jersey fabric. I really liked the neckline on the green shirt, so I used that part and the stripes to incorporate it into the new shirt.

This three+ hour project was relatively simple, although making it fit was tricky and I had to keep trying it on throughout.

See more images to see a close up of winnie-the-pooh, who resides on the left sleeve of the new striped shirt, and a better view of the neckline.

First Shirt from Scratch

I made this shirt from jersey material (stretchy t-shirt material). I think it is pretty cute, and it was really easy to make!

See the odd front pockets? I like the boat-neck look. And the bell-bottomed sleeves.

Back view

I made a cool yellow shirt from a sheet a while ago. As soon as I get some pictures, I'll put it up here too.
