Sewing tutorials: men’s shirt refashion special!

Sewing tutorials how to refashion a mans shirt

Use your sewing machine to turn an unloved item into something special!

It’s a very common scenario – men’s shirts no longer being used, no longer wanted. But rather than throwing them away, they can be a wonderful clothing raw material source!

In our regular blogs, we cover many upcycling or recycling tutorial examples. But there’s one refashioning source that crops up more than any other – the good old men’s shirt.

As with other how-tos, all you need is

  • An unloved men’s shirt or two – in good condition of course!.
  • A sewing machine and some level of capability as a sewist
  • …and a whole heap of inspirational ideas!!!

As we said in a previous blog – our upcycling specialDictionary.com defines “upcycle” as

“to process (used goods or waste material) so as to produce something that is often better than the original”.

And men’s shirts probably provide a greater variety of possibilities than any other upcycling source!
