Revamp a T-shirt

tee-shirtsTee-shirt reconstruction is a fad that sees to be on the rise. By reconstruction I mean taking a basic tee-shirt, or more than one, taking it apart and sewing it back together to be something else. A new shirt, a skirt or anything else you can think of.

There are several books about Tee-shirt recon, as it's been dubbed, but unfortunately not a lot of web content that I could find. I did find this forum post on craftster where one woman did a very cute tee-shirt recon. You will find pictures to help you recreate her recon if you want to.

While tee-shirt recon seems to be making its way through on-line craft forums and craft books it hasn't become enough of a fad for there to be many web sites dedicated to it. Which probably why its as popular as it is. Without having hit the mainstream yet it's still a bit emo.

I did find a few recon patterns you can follow at omystars craft for you if you want to see what tee-shirt recon is all about. Readymade blog seems to think that tee-shirt recon may be the new hipper version of knitting.

If you are interested in book with ideas check out Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt, Tease and 99 Ways to Cut, Sew, Trim, and Tie Your T-Shirt into Something Special.
