Just finished this new tshirt! Made completely from scratch from recycled thrift-store tshirts, based on my own pattern. I literally just harvested the fabric and constructed an entirely new shirt, vs my first attempt, which used a pre-made tshirt as the base. Do you like archery targets? Me too. I thought it would make a nice inspiration for this design.
I really upped the anti on quality with this version, taking care to reinforce every seam, and include a finished v-neck, which was challenging but I think makes the shirt look much more professional.
Sewing the target onto the shirt, and here are some sketches for future ideas.
It fits!
Trying out a label idea.
My first hand-made recycled shirt! I used quilting techniques to craft the chevron design from a pallet of thrift-store tshirts. This is more of a prototype, but I think the idea might apply well to dresses, jackets, hoodies etc.
