Men's Shirts Repurposed

I don't intend on becoming a sewing blog.  Occasionally I do post some of my makings.  Today I am posting to link to Project Run and Play.  With our sweet new addition (which needs some blog time soon), my sewing time is absent.  I am getting antsy to jump back in.  The creations are swarming around in my head again. 

This week is repurposed men's shirts.  There are some fabulous ideas on their site already.  Cuteness abounds!

Here is one I recently made for a friend's baby girl.  I thought of red/white/blue would be appropriate since she will be able to fit into it around the fourth of July (about 6 months old).  I used David's shirt and a vintage skirt that my mom had made long ago.  I wish I had a model. 

To avoid buying too much fabric and save on the budget, I have been challenging myself to use what I have (fabric or clothing) for my creations.  It makes me think a little more, but not as much as some of the sweet creations linked to Project Run and Play.  So many think out of the box with such skill!

Here are a few of my past repurposed clothes from men's shirts:

 

 

Look at these cuties! I think these were for Easter. Just a little before Teague was born. So fun to look back!

 From David's shirt that I loved, but he wanted to donate.  To Taylin's shirt and a pair of shorts for Kennedy (can't find a good picture of it...that is her wearing them.  I guess my attempt failed).

From my grandfather's denim work shirts and pockets from Taylin's old jeans.

Pajamas from Aggie and Arizona tees.

I remembered this bag I made for my son to take to church.  I used a pant leg from his old pants and my husband's shirt for the lining.  The pocket on the shirt was perfect for an interior pocket for my little guy's collections.
