Welcome to my world! I'm Renee - a fun mix of rock and roll and good ol' country sweetie pie all mushed together to form a one woman sweat shop cranking out goodies you're sure to love!
I grew up in the 80s so I'm a lover of iconography - and pop culture.
I was adopted by a retired farming couple who taught me, at an early age, how to sew (among other hand crafts and old school skills) I latched on to it and from middle school on I was altering tshirts along with my older cousins.
I still love the things I did then and for me Nostalgia never goes out of style! It gives me great pleasure to make things that mean something personally to people, and custom orders are my favorite things! Feel free to message me with any ideas and we'll create something awesome!

5 out of 5 starsGlad I got it while it was hot! lol I am so in love with my Krispy Kreme project bag. Exceeded cute-coolness expectations. And it came with tea and a sweet little doughnut progress keeper. Well-made/quality construction. Arrived fast. Now I think I'll celebrate by eating Krispy Kremes.

5 out of 5 starsWow this bag is so beautifully made, the professionalism and sewing skills are really second to none. Renee is a badarse behind that machine. Plus the bag is so much fun to use! Customer service was fantastic. Shipped quickly. Not surprising though since I've been shopping here since OMG 2006! We love this shop and family!!

5 out of 5 starsSo soft and perfect for spring and fall weather. A truly cool and unique cowl that I anticipate will get quite a bit of use.

It starts with thrift store shirts and I have lots! I've been doing this for over 15 years and I am always shopping!
All fun! All of the time!
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.

(¸.•´ (¸.•´ .•´ ¸¸.•¨¯`•. Hi! and WELCOME to the Chop Shop. My name is Renee - I design and make all of the clothes you see here. I am a 40 year old single mother of 3. I have been making boutique clothing for over 20 years and I started recycling tshirts into one of a kind garments over a decade ago. I started selling online on ebay in 2001 and I joined Etsy in 2006.
»-(¯`v´¯)-»My Style is Eclectic»-(¯`v´¯)-»
And my items reflect that. I don't make things that I wouldn't wear!
I love custom orders, they are 60% of my business, so message me!
Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
Payment
Paypal payments in the form of echecks are considered paid when the echeck has cleared which usually takes 3-4 business days.
Money Order payments are considered paid the Money Order reaches me.
Personal Check payments are considered paid when the actual check has cleared your bank and the funds are in mine.
Because most of the garments are one of a kind - I will not begin construction on your custom garment until the payment is 'paid'.
Shipping
In my 10+ years of selling online I have never had a problem with shipping within the US and only once with a package to Canada.
I happily ship worldwide via the United States Postal Service. The international rate listed refers to First Class International. The garments are sent to you in a large mailer envelope and shipping can take up to 2-3 weeks. If you prefer I can ship International Priority at a rate of $20.
If you have a bulk order I can ship using the Priority Flat Rate shipping box at a cost of $37.
I will work with you with whatever shipping service and method you prefer, just drop me a line and we can make it happen!
