More Morphed T-Shirt Pictures and a Very Productive Weekend

It appears I'm sewing and posting like crazy. Probably to make up for lost time in October. It feels absolutely wonderful to be sewing again. I'm in the mood to re-design t-shirts. I had a pile of them sitting in my sewing room waiting for action. Now, they are done and as a result I'm also getting back a bit of sewing space.

In my previous re-design t-shirt post, I had forgotten to show what the Men's XL t-shirts look like on me. Well, I remembered to take some "before" pictures. First up, is a really cool VA Tech t-shirt (okay...the backside logo is really neat).


As you can see, it makes a great nightshirt, except, I'm not a nightshirt kind of person. So, this one got a re-design...


...into something that looks like this.



I bought this "Wild by Nature" t-shirt when I was in Seattle. Funny, I bought the same size for my DH...XL.


Now, it fits me to a "T".


I was recently asked a really good question...why don't I just buy a Men's size Medium? Well, I could, but a Medium would be too narrow in the hips for me. The XLarge size gives me some room to place my pattern pieces. A Large size would be cutting it too close. Plus I have to allow for shrinkage in the washer/dryer.

So, this takes less than an hour to re-design a t-shirt...from cutting it apart to sewing the bottom hem.
