Refashion: Mum, I have no "Winter" T-shirts

I haven't been sewing a whole lot, because I've been busy preparing for the fair that I attended last Saturday. I cannot wait to make something from scratch. Isn't that something?

I was just about to sit down to cut my fabric, when I remembered that my older daughter had asked me for more long sleeved t-shirts.

Sigh. I guess I should go shopping now. Gah, I can't stand it....
Wait a minute! What am I thinking? I have a pile of clothes that can be refashioned!

Actually, it was more like 3 or 4 piles of refashion candidates.

I sorted through my piles and laid out a few jersey pieces that seemed to go well together.
Laying it out like that seems to help me visualize how I want the shirts to turn out.
In the end, my daughter helped me to pick out the colors she wanted. I used an existing shirt, and just kind of winged it. It's a really liberating way of sewing!
Now, my daughter has a few new shirts to wear. Notice.... no pink!
What she wore to school this morning:

This is out of left field, but I had a dinner conversation with my family yesterday, about the kind of music my parents listened to when I was a child.
Well, there was Elvis, Dolly, Kenny, The Pretenders, Everly Brothers, Dean Martin....
and there was Slim Whitman.
Slim Whitman brings back the memories.


Happy Monday.
