Making old clothes with new designs?
Just wondering what i could do to recycle old clothing into new design? Like turning old jeans into a mini skirt, but different ideas with t-shirts.
Thanks <3

craft stores always carry great sewing books and patterns. stock up on needles, buttons, ribbons, etc.

I'd suggest going into a fabric store and looking at their books of sewing patterns, or finding some patterns over the internet, for anything you'd like to make. If you get a stitch-ripper and use it to divide the shirt by the side-seams (or just cut the shirt so that it looks like a long towel, instead of a top), it becomes fabric that you can use to make basically anything. If you combined lots of t-shirts with different logos and prints, you could make this awesome mismatched skirts/tank tops/ whatevers.
Other suggestions I'd have come from my school's fashion show - a girl made a dress out of ties, a frilly jacket out of a shower curtain, and a dress that was basically a bunch of men's dress shirts sewed together at the waist to create this massive puff of dress-shirt material that twirled when she turned around.
Another suggestion is if you wanted to paint any of the shirts, you don't need fabric paint. Acrylic paint is excellent for t-shirt painting purposes.
Have fun and happy sewing =]
