ETSY

Wow.....Am I really into these shirt recons or what! Never did I think that

I would enjoy reconstructing shirt so much.

Since my closet is full of clothes already but I cant seem to stop buying and cutting up shirts

I think I'm going to open an

 ETSY

shop and put this hobby to good use. 

I also have n mind other items

I may want to sell.

Although I know I haven't posted any more shirts on here

I still have a pile of recons.

Now the fun part will be finding places to advertise my upcoming shop to make it

                              successful...

                                                    hmmmmm....
                                                                            ideas are welcome.


I think I have great name picked out but not quite sure yet....Wish me luck

(Etsy shop running advice greatly appreciated)

T-shirt Recon

Here are 2 more shirts that I've reconstructed and like. Although there are a couple more, I'm not to proud of them. Maybe one day I'll make a post of recons gone bad. But hey the screw ups are how we learn... Trial and Error

T-Shirt Recon

I know its not Wednesday yet.....

But I had a shirt from my last visit laying around just waiting for me to chop it up....

So....

I chopped it up..

-*- Before -*-

-*- After -*-

 

I will still be out tomorrow morning on a hunt for some shirts that will make the CUT!!!

Inspiration

So my inspiration lately has been found on You Tube.

I have been watching some T-shirt Reconstruction videos by Itsblitzzz and Adam Saaks.

So I've decided that tomorrow I'm going to be heading out to The Salvation Army for their 1/2 off all clothes on Wednesday sale. Since I've only tried a few tricks on a couple of shirts and have had  a couple look not so cute. I will be picking up some to attempt to RECONSTRUCT!!!! I have already made a trip out there but missed their super Wednesday deal. But I did learn what type of shirts to not purchase.

Anyways, I will be definitely posting before and afters.

I've already upgraded my scissors to some fabric scissors so that it will be much easier. ( I recommend some good shears, my paper cutting ones where the cause of  a few of my disasters.)

Attempts so far = about 11

Failures so far = about 3 

  

Which means I have about 8 shirts that are wearable before this next trip...2 of which I have worn and been complimented on.
