When I was in elementary school, my older cousins used to cut up their concert and band tshirts and make everything from pillows to mini skirts. I mimicked them of course, I've always been a bit of a wild child - sneaking outfits under my clothes so my conservative parents wouldn't see what I was really wearing to school.
When my daughter was born I couldnt stand any of the frilly lacy clothing that was out and back then onesies were just plain, if you wanted variety you had to make it yourself. Since I was raised by a retired couple on a working farm, I had been sewing, crocheting, canning, cooking my whole life- so, I took some old tshirts and made onesies and some simple dresses and loved them. Once Krystal outgrew wearing handmade clothing I figured I'd sell them and I've been doing that for years, I started on ebay in 2001 with online selling and moved to Etsy in 2006.
Im fearless! I'll try anything to see if it will work. Challenge is everything which is why I dont' buy new tshirts. I only get tshirts from thrift stores, hand me downs and yard sales.
