Cutting old clothes up and making new

Patch work Tee shirts can be made from stretch clothes that no longer fit you, or that you don’t wear any more.  Cut all the old tee shirts up so you are left with pieces. Make a pattern from an old tee shirt that you love, and then make a patchwork in the shape of your panels from the old tees.  You can be very creative here, and the big benefit is that you can make the tee to fit your body shape.  Pieces can be zig zagged together, or joined from the back side.  You could use tape to join each section.  Your imagination will have you creating wonderful pieces to wear.

Happy sewing
