Sewing project ideas?
I have some old clothes:
tshirts that i dont wear
jeans that dont fit
a couple of my bfs shirts he doesnt wear
and lots more.
I wanna use the fabric to make things I'd actually wear.
I have a sewing machine but am pretty new to this so I don't want anything complicated. I also want something fashionable and my style is rock chick/kitch/trendy.
Does anyone have any ideas or links? Would be very helpful. I have looked on the internet for hours and cannot find anything I was to make!!!
Please help!!
Or is there anything I could make for my room?
Here are some links I came across for T-shirt ideas (sorry if you already found these):
