After repurposing a bunch of shirts into a shirt quilt, and a cushion that uses a button placket, I still have a tonne of old shirting left over, so I'm on the lookout for more ideas. I had a browse through the 39 ongoing, themed sewing link parties, here at Threading My Way and found lots of inspiration.

I'd love you to share this post on social media!
Hello Pam. Thanks for including my Men's Zippered Pouch above. I also have a Pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.com/thelostapron/mens-shirt-restyling/
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ana. I've added your board to the list.
DeleteThanks SO much for digging out this collection!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI have a girls dress made from a men's shirt that I haven't blogged about yet. I need to take some pictures!
Thank you for including my little girl's dress, Pam! IT must have taken you good amount of time going through your parties! This is a great new theme!
ReplyDeleteI do love your pillow Pam, the design of shirts makes such a difference! Thanks for including my toddler dress
ReplyDeleteThanks for including my Pinterest board, Pam! And my recent men shirts refashioning projects;)
ReplyDeleteShirts are great material to reuse, yet quite challenging sometimes because of the pattern, checks, strips or else we need to consider.
I love your blog, how you organised the information, the layout, your great tutorials, the ideas, but mostly - your big heart that includes everyone who makes efforts to share:)
It's great to find your online presence. Thank you!
Warmly,
Mariana
Thanks so much, Mariana. I've found the online sewing community to be warm and welcoming.
DeleteLots of lovely projects gathered together, thank you. The toddler dress is lovely and the curtains are just stunning, I love those in particular.
