Upcycling

[Bella2010star]

We have just upcycled some bottle tops into magnets! It is surprising what you can do with bottle tops anyone done anything inspiring? We may be making people watch this space.

I upcycled my husbands old business shirts into a lovely top boyfriend top!

Actually, it has been chosen as a finalist in the Made by Rae Spring Top Sewalong competition! I'm pretty chuffed. There's some stiff competition, but if you like mine, I'd love a few votes . You can vote here. I'm Q boyfriend top. Voting closes tomorrow (Friday)

Thanks!

I have saved my husband old shirts,because the shirt is good except for collar. Can you give me the pattern for the top.

I made a toddler dress out of a mens shirt following this tutorial

Most of DD1's nighties are made from old adult t-shirts - they are really quite funky. I ask friends to save their old tshirts for me so she has nighties made from Ralph Lauren, Diesel & American Apparel tshirts which are amazing quality and very fine & soft. No piccys of those sorry.

stupidgirl did you know you can unpick the collar off a mans shirt, flip the collar over & restitch!!!

flipping shirt collars

I made up the pattern myself Stupidgirl - but, one day I might learn how to make pdf patterns.... hopefully!

Myrtle I love that top, I voted for you.

Thanks Tory!

I've made a bottle top wind chime that hangs in my garden like this and it sounds fab tinkling away.

I love all these clothes repurposing, I just need to get to grips with my sewing machine really.

Pretty!
