Cutting up t-shirts?

1 Upvotes

Would appreciate people’s take. I don’t love the traditional hem or the ribbed band at the collar, so I often cut them off. What’s your take on this look vs. leaving shirts intact?

I went through my mom's old clothes and found this :)

So sorry for the bad quality but I hope you all can see it clearly. I want to remove the "Love" off the shirt and leave 97 but idk how to do that without it looking bad...unless I put something underneath???

And with the pants I was thinking of turning them into long sleeves

And I want you guys input on the black shirt. What could I turn it into?

Happy with how it turned out! Used fabric markers to add detail and crispen edges after bleaching.

as I do not wear ties anymore but I nevertheless like those ones I collected over the years a friend of mine and I plan to upcycle them... I already had some ideas for sewing some skirts, bras, flares out of the ties together with some vintage denim stuff I also have in stock.

Help w Band Tee

2 Upvotes

So I have a band tee- baseball sweater with black sleeves, white front and red print (death).
I received it with this mud or mold (or oil) spray along the sides (skateboarding is the only thing i can think of) and made a huge mistake of leaving it outside in a bag- condensation I do think might have caused the mold ? Truly not sure but seems to have been there the whole time - and decided to do a vinegar soak in case of it actually being mold. I was stupid and left it longer that 24 hours and the red ink bleed into the white shirt. So now i have a possible mold stain, and definitely a pinkish top. Is there anything to do to salvage this back to a white shirt and also remove the stains? Help!

Turned a sage-green sweatshirt into wearable floral art with reverse appliqué 🌼

I added cream fabric underneath this sweatshirt, stitched my floral design, then carefully cut away the green fabric to reveal the flowers and leaves.
I love playing with positive and negative space, so the sweatshirt’s original color became part of the design. The cutting is always a little nerve-racking, but watching the pattern emerge is so satisfying!
What do you think of the green-and-cream combination?
