Upcycling Dave's Harley-Davidson shirt

I've always thought of sewing as going to the store, buying a pattern and fabric, and sewing it as the pattern shows.  I've done some changing around of patterns, but it was very exciting for me to see what other crafters have done without buying a pattern and fabric.

One of my new favorites is the 90-minute shirt by made that uses guys' t-shirts and some ribbing to make kids' shirts.  Dave has a bag of old Harley-Davidson shirts that I'm going to make into a quilt for him one day and I decided to raid the bag and make some kid's clothes with one of the shirts instead.  I was able to make pants for K using the sleeves and a onesie (using the 90-minute shirt tutorial) and pants for B using the logos on the front and back and some fabric from one of the other shirts.  Since it's 11:55pm I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see how B's clothes fit him.



I have yet to figure out how to rotate a photo. :)
