Off that subject: I've been in an upcycling mood lately ... it's just really fun to turn things made one way and use them for something else!
(Most of them have turned into pillows ... starting here, but pillows are fun! Right? I can't resist!)
A couple of shirts didn't sell on Etsy before I phased out my women's clothing. They are funky but they don't exactly scream classy vintage.
So how about a floral pillow?!
(paired with my Grandma's plum polyester remnant.)
And then another shirt ... sorry! I deleted all the pictures before I decided to keep it and cut it up. I paired this one with a golden yellow broadcloth leftover from my sister's nursery linens.This one is long, 12x22 compared to my previous square (16x16) pillows.
And finally, a shirt that was given to Jeremy but didn't fit him in the shoulders. I loved it so much I couldn't bear to give it away! So, why not cut it up?! My BIL Shawn has the same shirt so I decided to make his new little guy a matching bowtie. Shorts are still in the works if I can find a casual pair to pattern them after!
Here is the final product!
Now I just need a picture of it on the little guy... :-)
I really like the floral pillow paired with the plum backing. I don't think I would have pulled that color from the palette but it looks really lovely!
