I have had a couple of months to recover from my year-long dress making challenge. I had this idea in my head that once I didn’t have to make something each week I would have all of this inner creativity freed up and I would be making clothes left and right. Well the truth is I barely even touched my sewing machine until about 2 weeks ago and what I have seen has taken me too long and has been very difficult. I have not had a creative purpose and that leaves me bored and without a healthy outlet for stress.
Then this bag came into my life…
My friend, and previous shirt supplier, Kelly sadly moved out-of-town recently. Before he went he asked me if I wanted a few shirts of his to upcycle. I pictured 3 shirts. What I got was a bag of 16.
My challenge is to upcycle the 16 shirts. I have no rules about what I can turn them into and I have no timeline, though I would be happy to get about one project a week done. Wish me luck.
Fun idea! Interested to see what you come up with!
Glad to see you back and blogging! Can’t wait to see what you do!

Good luck! Looking forward to what you are going to do with the shirts
Very cool… Can’t wait to see what creativity you come up with. Love your designs…

Cool! Gotta love free yardage. The fabrics look pretty cute, too! If any of them aren’t, maybe you could use some as interfacing or lining or pocket material?
