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.
