Upcycled t-shirt tutorial

November 16, 2012

It’s official.

I’m the world’s worst blogger.

I promise and I don’t deliver.

Because I forget.

Yep…I forgot that a bajillion years ago I promised you a tutorial about how I upcycle adult t-shirts for the kids, using the existing neckline and hems to reduce the amount of sewing you do.

And then today I saw this splendid tutorial at Elegance and Elephants.

Which explains it far better than I could do.

And with the cutest dress as an alternative outcome to a t-shirt.

So, I’d go there and check it out instead of waiting for my pitiful offering.

And maybe accept my profuse and profound apologies for being so flipping rubbish!

Hi there,
I'm Evie and I knit, stitch, spin and sew.
With varying degrees of success!
But always with my family around me in our little town in the North of England.
Grab a brew and stay a while.
