The cobbler is now shod.

Okay, so I make all these fun things, but have none of my reconstructed clothes or sweaters that I actually call my own. In a couple of weeks I am going to a 3 day quilt convention in Chicago, and decided maybe I should wear some of my own things! Well is is always about 90 degrees there (inside) so sweaters are out (tried that last year). So I spent a day making some reconstructed t-shirts and skirts for myself.

I used recycled t-shirts from Goodwill and a lot of the same principles used in my comfy coats and sweaters. Here are the results. I am happy... so happy, in fact, that I went to Goodwill yesterday and bought several more t-shirts to try some more. So we will see if they start showing up in my shops soon. Want to do some more experimenting first though!

How cute! I'm glad you're going to be using T-shirts. It's too hot in Texas to wear a sweater most of the year. I hope to see some T-shirt work in your shop.

You are so right: "Heidi Klum - eat your heart out and watch your back."

And I agree with Carol B. Will be watching your shop like a hawk.

I'll be there with everyone else eyeing your new t-shirt works. I love what you did with the ones you designed for you!

Absolutely wonderful.....and the perfect time of the year to create designs from T shirts.
