Been there and got the t-shirt, right? The only problem is, the t-shirt they gave you was made for a man and, well, you’re not a man. So here’s a 10 minute fix to help make it more curve friendly. Continue reading

Upcycle: T-shirt to Baby Tights
After making myself a pair of tights, I decided Poppet also needed some to go with her dresses. It was also a great way to whittle down the t-shirts in my huge “upcycling stash”. Continue reading
Upcycle: T-Shirt to Baby Hat
There is something about a baby in a hat with ears that makes me just melt. I don’t consider myself a “clucky” kind of person, but this gets me everytime. I mean, really, how can you not smile at that?
She may berate me for it in years to come, but I don’t really care. I think she’s gorgeous. Although I do wish I had used a better setting on the camera for the photo. Ah, we live and learn.
Simply made using an old T-Shirt, some scrap fabric and a touch of ribbon. It’s fantastically quick to sew up, yet looks like you’ve spent a lot of time and effort on it (my favourite type of project!). Continue reading
Fabric Printing: Freezer Paper Stencils (NZ version!)
There are oodles of tutorials online about how to stencil fabric with freezer paper. They all look fabulous and give you an easy way to personalise tshirts, baby onesies, bags … the list is endless.

But, despair no more, my loyal Offsquare friends (I know you’ve all been kept awake each night wondering how you’ll ever do a freezer paper stencil without paying for airfares to the US first … or is that just me?), I have the answer you’ve all been looking for. Plus, it’s thrifty AND upcycled! Continue reading
Upcycle: T-Shirt to Toddlers Shirt
This “90 minute shirt” by Dana has been on my to-do-list for a long time. Most of my apprehension came from sewing with the knit fabric. Turns out it’s not that bad! I’m definitely going to raid Hubby’s drawers for more T-Shirts I can cut up … shhh, secret squirrel.
