What can we do with the T-shirts we don't wear anymore, but they are still new or look new?   Everyone has T shirts in their closet. We either give them away, throw them, or use it as a rag. But not any more. You can redesign your t-shirts with minimal or no hand sewing. I have transformed these T-shirts into my own designs, using hand stitches (serves both purposes: functional and decorative), buttons, trims, and fusible web. I am also teaching this class at a Summer camp in Hayward, CA.


Pattern or design used: My own design

Fabia writes: These are great designs! I have been restyling T-shirts too. Mainly because the t-shirts I like are usually in men XXL sizes and so I've been making them into simple T-shrit dresses. I'm new to Threads but I'll put some photos up once I've got to grips with it!
