    I finally posted photos of some shirts I had mentioned in this forum months ago. I added them to the Photo Gallery today.

  • finishing a refashioned t-shirt

    I posted a photo of a brown t-shirt in the Photo Gallery today. I like how it looks so far, but I think that it needs more done to it. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can add to it? I want to keep it so that it is machine washable and can go in the dryer so I don't want to add something like...

    I'm going to a "play day" Saturday the 30th with some artist friends. One of the things I'm planning to do there is to refashion a jersey I bought. It has black and white horizontal stripes and looked so cute on the hanger that I didn't bother to try it on. When I wear it, I look...

    I haven't actually seen much more than you have already described. perhaps when I see what you have done so far I can think of a few other ideas. I just posted a t-shirt refashion to go with the latest skirt on my blog .

    I'll try and take photos and post them this weekend. The other teachers look forward to seeing what I'll do with the latest shirt. It has become like a personal challenge for me to do each one differently. If any of you out there see anything on the web about redoing polo shirts let me know.

    I think the idea of changing the polo shirts is a very good idea. Do you have any photos anywhere? What kind of comments do you get from the other teachers? I just blogged about another skirt I changed. You can see it here . Actually, I also just got an email a few minutes ago from a newspaper. They...

    I'm a teacher at a public school and at the beginning of each school year they give us a shirt. Each year they are a different color and they are the polo type shirts with a couple of buttons down the front and a collar. They are always men's sizes and aren't very flattering. I take them...

    I have never done the jeans to skirts thing. perhaps because I have never found a pair that actually fit me at the waist! Do you have photos somewhere of the ones you did with hand painted fabrics? My aunt did a lot of jeans quilts. They were very heavy.
