Recycle (T-Shirt) Time

So today I thought I would make a t-shirt from a fabric I hand-dyed a few months ago as part of a screenprint/lithography edition. I had about 2 yards remaining, collecting dust, so I thought hey, why not make something of it.



 Ready to be cut into!

 Ready to sew!


 Close up of the fabric. 
I used a combination of pigments and dyes with a dash of bleach. It almost resembles a nebula. Hmmm space...

Vola! Finished product. 
I think I might revisit this later to shorten it a bit so it is not so long, and make pockets out of that material. But for now I will enjoy it!

My baby, Wally.
