I'm a huge fan of upcycling and I love refashioning old garments. Sweaters are a fountain of ideas when it comes to refashioning - there are so many ways to repurpose and remake them. But this refashion is still my absolute favorite.

DIY T-Shirt Upcycle You Can Actually Wear in Public

http://www.thefashionspot.com/style-trends/175013-diy-this-t-shirt-upcycle-you-can-actually-wear-in-public In the hierarchy of wardrobe staples, t-shirts are the Cinderellas of the fashion world—the clothes banished to the mundane tasks of life.
http://elementalcarbon.blogspot.com/2012/07/lengthening-dress-with-lace.html I have been off of work the past two days and I got to enjoy a quick little road trip up to Indianapolis with my parents. It was short, but still very fun and it was great to see them again. It was sad to see them go! You may have noticed (or you may not), but I have made a few more cosmetic changes to the blog!

Ucreate: Creative Guest: Watermark Tee by Sweet Verbana

Random Recast: T-Shirts Round-Up

http://www.diylife.com/2011/07/08/four-uses-for-old-t-shirts/ In this (short) week's Random Recast, we found new ways to use old t-shirts . Day #4: Shaggy Floor Mat Perfect for bathrooms, kids' rooms or anywhere that could use a pop of texture, this shag rug starts with t-shirts. This idea is a little more advanced than the woven t-shirt rug we spotlighted earlier in the week, since it requires a latch hook kit. But if you're up to dabbling in a new crafty skill, the flokati-like result is worth the trouble.

Cardigan Refashion by Make It Perfect

http://greenliving.lovetoknow.com/Recycle_Old_T-shirts With a little creative thought it is possible to recycle old t-shirts into a wide variety of other items. T-shirts are such a versatile garment and one that is worn by all age groups and by people of all backgrounds around the world. They can range from t-shirts featuring iconic images worn by trendy fashionistas through to tiny pastel t-shirts worn by babies. With the vast number of t-shirts purchased every year, it is only to be expected that many end up being thrown out before they are worn out. However, next time you have a t-shirt that you no longer want or find some t-shirts for sale in a thrift store or garage sale, think about other ways that you could use them.
