I found this beautiful men’s chambray western sometime during the covid lockdowns and made a women’s blouse out of it. For some reason I never posted it so now I am getting to it…

There you have it! Another save from the thrift stores. Let me know what you think! I love to hear from you all.
I’m currently in the process of making a quilt entirely out of men’s shirts, mostly chambray, but a couple of tuxedo shirts for the white.
Hello Margaret! That sounds amazing! Thank you for commenting. I always like to know what my readers are working on. I would love to see a picture of it!-Mary
Hello Mary,
The new blouse looks lovely. I teach textiles to 11-12 year-olds. Some thrift stores here have a fill-a-bag option for $5, which means you can get around 10 garments for $5. I’m thinking of getting the students to upcycle a garment each.
Hello Janene!
That is sooo cool. Having the students repair and decorate would be a great idea for the classroom! Thanks for sharing!
So much cuter! See you soon!
Hey Julie! Thanks for your support. Yep! I could use more time but see you soon.
