So i found this rad ass t shirt at hot topic! i wish there were more of them, if so i would have grabbed them all up so that i could do more than one kind of top with them (I did find out that there are some available on the website that i might get). Anyways here is a link to the before picture on the hot topic website: http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Clearance/Tops/Iron-Fist-Lime-Green-Skeleton-TShirt-818101.jsp

Bored out of my mind and wanting to get back into the crafy mode, but having no sewing machine, ruler, fabric/washable marker or chalk or any of my other supplies- I made a summer tank.

thanks everyone! :-D


i haven't posted in.... maybe a year or more?? busy busy busy. i'm not sure if this is TOTALLY following the rules, so if not, feel free to delete this post.
i have reconstructed a few things in the past year or so. behind the cut you can see pictures of them, as well as a ton of shirts from throughout my entire sewing history, starting back in high school! ew. i'm moving to nicaragua in about a month, and moving somewhere else when i get back to milwaukee, so i have to get rid of a TON of stuff. sooooo... i have to sell some of my shirts :[
but maybe that is good news for you! :-D

this is the first time i've ever sold any of my stuff, ever. the stuff i made within the first 2-3 years of reconstructing was ALL sewn by hand, so the stitching is ugly, weird, not strong enough in some spots, the whole piece is sketchy in general, etc. even the stuff i make now is still not "sellable" quality in my mind. i leave lots of raw edges, when stuff rips i just wear it anyway, etc. my clothes are sketchy! but i like them that way. if you're into this, this is for you! if not, i thought maybe people might want to get some as inspiration, to help beginners see how it is pieced to together, to use as a pattern of sorts, to rip apart and make something else out of... who knows!

so, for this reason, i'm selling everything for $5 each. $2 shipping. yep, only $7. i hate to part with everything, but i don't wear them at all, and someone else might benefit from having them?

WARNING: WAY TOO MANY PICTURES
bye bye stuff )



hope you are all using your holiday spare time to get creative and make awesome stuff.
i will be back very soon with new stuff. i basically made an entire new wardrobe so i could survive the central american summer!

Hello everyone! I know this is long overdue, i've been a member of this community since the summer, but i was 'researching' all the work people do, because for my senior show as a fashion major, i'm deconstruct-reconstructing old boy band tshirts (nsync, backstreet boys, and a spice girls too haha). i needed ideas on how to do it and make it look professional, and when i make the final project i'll post it here!


in the meantime, here are some other surgeries and designs i've done which have been inspired here.follow me )


thank you all again and keep up the amazing work! reworking old shirts is such a necessity in this economy, and youre all so talented at what you do
