Can recycled tees mean fabulous fashion?


It was truly touch and go today as to whether I would have started, much less finished a product to post about.  arthur and I were engaged in an epic battle of wits, I had lost mine and he was determined to keep them from me. However I did manage to pull it together and this is what I made :)


Can recycled tees mean fabulous fashion? You be the judge. This is the  eternity scarf I salvaged from thrift store t-shirts. I used 5 colors but 1 X-large men's tee would be more than enough with a total cost of about $3 in materials. This was so easy I'm pretty sure I'll be tucking them in the Easter baskets I send to my daughter (she is truly the diggity bomb!) and her roomie in LA. I guess I'll need to go scouting for more spring colored cast-offs! I love thrifting :)  Nice try arthur... you almost got me but today was salvaged into a 7.
