In an attempt to keep some really amazing t-shirts that my husband had in the goodwill pile, I made the boys some repurposed t-shirts and one-piece outfits for spring. The t-shirts were super easy--just cut out the smaller version with the top seams and neck staying the same--requiring only two total seams and one hem. And the one piece outfits have been a bit hit or miss. I've decided the best t-shirts to work with are thicker cotton without any extra lycra to them because a few turned out a little katty-wompus leaning to the side. They've all given me some great serger practice on easy projects and the boys look pretty rockin if I do say so myself. Cause seriously, how many baby onesies can you find with Viking ships?

And now I'm even thinking about starting up an Etsy shop with some more t-shirt projects. I'm feeling pretty ametuer but I also think that's part of the hand-made appeal, so we'll see.
