About Me

My photo
About three years ago, I stopped buying new clothes. Too many clothing manufacturers use sweatshops or some other form of slave labor, and I refuse to support that. So I buy clothes second-hand and recycle old and thrifted clothes into new styles. I don't wear new clothes; rather, I am a new wearer of clothes.

The T-Shirt Edition

Whenever I go to Goodwill, it's virtually impossible for me to leave the t-shirt section empty-handed. Men's section, women's section, or kid's section, I can always find something I adore. But they usually need a little work. Simply re-sizing them is always an option, but sometimes I like to get a bit more creative. Today I'm showing you four different ways that I've modified Goodwill t-shirts.

For these first two, no sewing was required: I just grabbed my scissors and started cutting.


The tribal print on this grey beauty just called out for fringe. So I shredded the sleeves and hem, and voila: fringe.


This one was an experiment: some of my favorite creations have come out of times when I literally just started cutting with no real plan in mind.


It became this loose tunic-y tank-y thing which I love.


This awesome gem came from the kid's department. Some little boy outgrew his favorite action hero, so I became the hero and rescued Indiana Jones from The Temple of Goodwill. 


This is now my favorite "Look at me, I'm a tough girl" shirt.


Finding this Beatles t-shirt at Goodwill? Good.


Turning it into this tank top? Better.


And there you have it, folks. Four t-shirts, four completely different re-styles.
