Recycling Tee Shirts

Ever wondered what to do with your old tee shirts

once they get stained or worn out or end up with holes?

Take a little bit of inspiration from these amazing folks.
Or just buy them pre-made from them. :-)

Angela Johnson makes a fantastic line of clothes from T shirt scraps. 

From these Hammer Time Pants

to these kick ass ball gowns!

Another fantastic designer is 

Stacy J Lee

If you haven't heard of her, start off by looking through her Recreation 09 collection.

 

You know that you want those leggings....

Golden Book Gown

What do you do when you come across books that can no longer be read?

 Most throw them away if there are enough pages torn out or damaged.

What is a better idea? Find something new you can do with them.

Turn them into a dress.

That is exactly what Ryan Novelline came up with.

He collected little Golden Books and designed a dress made out of them. Even the little golden book spines make up the bodice of this dress. Each piece is sewn together, and even organized by color stripes.

The perfect mix and example of sustainable fashion.
