My upcycled clothing now has labels and hang tags. I used the shareware programs Inkspace and Gimp to design the graphics. The hang tag was professionally printed by Moo.com. I created the clothing labels at home by printing onto fabric.

This was an XL men’s t-shirt, and now it’s a tank with a scooped hemline. Scraps cover the original graphics.

An A-line tank dress from an XL men’s t-shirt. This will be a summer favorite – if summer ever reaches Bend, OR.

I decided to finally finish this wrap that I began during my 365 days of creativity. It is constructed from two XXL men’s t-shirts.

Altered an XXL men’s t-shirt into a fitted tank dress. I’m also creating an A-line version.

Here is a picture of the JW Anderson shirtdress I mimicked.

So this was an experiment in sewing – a challenge to mimic a JW Anderson shirtdress that I clipped out of a magazine. His version costs $1200. Mine cost a thrifty $20 and started out as 2 XL men’s tailored shirts. I took a lot of liberty in my design since I have no idea what the real dress looks like under the leather jacket or from behind.

My latest sweater alteration. I used an XL women’s poncho and created fitted ¾ length sleeves. I wanted to create a hood, but settled for the cowl neck. As always, I added the nested rectangles.

Several months ago I saw a fleece shawl sweater I liked that was a simple rectangle with arms. I decided to try to make one for each of my girls. They chose the color, pink and blue – no surprises there. Honestly, the design works for Stella’s size, but is a bit odd for Adin. Notice the expressions. It was torture convincing Adin to let me photograph her for my blog. Yep, Adin will never, ever wear it.
