one year ago i began to get interest in reconstructing t-shirts. actually, my first sewn project ever, eight years ago, was reconstructed though i didn´t know that word back then
as i really enjoy going to concerts every now and then and i just feel insulted by all these fantastic mens shirts and the boring and bulky "girlie"-shirts i decided to hop on the train of reconstruction!!
a Gogol Bordello shirt i changed into a halterneck longtop but wasn´t satisfied so i changed it again in a dress with the "origami skirt" and matching straps
a Turbo A.C.´s shirt turned to a ballon like bottom with a halterneck top made of white and red striped jersey
a skirt made from a "killers" shirt my father brought me from amsterdam. it does not show the well-known band!
Smoke Blow!!! i just love them!! the bottom is a spirograph skirt, the black swirls were printed with shaving cream and fabric paint
my beloved Nim Vind shirt that turned into an off-shoulder dress, the bats were printed by me and freezer paper
this is an old one, a simple tube top made from a shirt, i "gathered" one side with a hair tie
a Misfits shirt, i turned into an a-line bottom and made a shaped top from purple jersey, again with printed bats
my boyfriend gave me the shirt someone else gave him some years ago, it´s from a band called deviates, i turned the target to the front and made a fitted halterneck dress
a pin up shirt i turned into a halterneck dress with a reddotted black jersey at the top, bottom and sides
forgot one: a clockwork orange dress, the top is made of leopard print jersey and there´s a tied bow included in the pattern
summary: this post is long; i´m a halterneck addict; i still have some shirts laying around
thank you for looking!!
