Rockin' the denim

Here's another refashion of one of my old t shirts. I won this (glow in the dark) top in a competition way back in my uni days. It's about 20 years ago. Yikes!

 I chopped it today and added it the the denim jacket I got for Dylan at the op shop the other day.

Jacket.

T shirt. Barely worn as it was a really narrow fit that squashed my chest making it look like I had a mono boob. You know the type?

                               

Mr D rocking the jacket! With his sweater pants.

Yes Mum, I do need to sit in mud whilst wearing wool pants.

Oh look, Dad's home. xxxxx

Love shack t shirt merger

I have a pile of old t shirts that stay in a box. I keep them for sentimental reasons, and they have wonderful memories attached to them. Some are now more than 20 years old!

I wonderful year when I spent two nights a week and some weekends at acting school.

A magical place with a beautiful people who captured my heart and my soul.

My high school musical.

My first visit to Africa.

Our school rock eisteddfod when I was teaching.

I've been contemplating a use for these for some time now, so today was the beginning of giving them a new life.

So here is the t shirt I got at my first real concert. The B-52's in 1990. I was 17 and I remember every delicious second of it as if it were yesterday. The image is in perfect condition but the t shirt is all stretched and thin.

I'm combining it with an almost new t shirt that somehow went into the wash clean and came out stained.

I cut the first t shirt into strips and lay them on top of the orange one.

Then I pinned and sewed them on with a large and pretty rough zig zag stitch. I wanted it to be a bit grungy.

I'm loving the colours with my citrus skirt which I found in this awesome vintage and second hand shop in Rosebud, Victoria. Have a look around in there if you are ever down that way, they have some lovely things and the prices are really reasonable.
