Custom Upcycled Belt from fav t-shirt, OOAK

Custom Upcycled Belt from fav T-shirt, OOAK
Back in my former life as a youth worker (and as someone who wore tie dye) we made these adorable shirts to go to a conference. 

I'm over it. 


But...I'm not ready to let go of the shirt and I'd like a fun accent in my wardrobe. 


Et voila. Poof! A fun new belt. 


This one can be yours or you can send me a shirt of your own. Do it up!


What you see here is perfect for someone, but if it's not your idea of perfect we can create something perfect just for YOU.

Pillow made out of repurposed sentimental t-shirts

Personalized Memory Pillow to commemorate milestones, remember a loved one, or to remember a special event

Ever had a pile of T-shirts 
clogging up 
your drawer? 
Can't bear to 
part with them
because of their 
sentimental value? 

Let us create a 

way for you to 
showcase 
those memories 
in your home. 

Perfect for display on a bed, couch, or hallway bench, these pillows are created from pieces of memoribilia that are important to YOU. 



We made this lovely pillow out of Jonnie's shirt. 


In a tumultuous time in her life she surrounded by family and taken to watch the Three Soldiers statue installation in Apalachicola, FL. It's almost like love itself wrapped her when   she wore that shirt. Because of the trip, the connection to her dear grandfather, and the deep sentimental value the shirt had for her, destroying the logo was a no go. Quick fix? We incorporated it into the design. Now she can display it proudly in her home and can hug it when she's blue.

We would love to preserve your memories in a way that is meaningful for you.

Personalized Jewelry, Bouquets and Bouttonneires made of the shirt you met him in


Confession. I snagged this shirt from my sister-in-law, Laura, in a clothing swap and wore the heck out of it. She had it for years and met her husband while she was wearing this shirt. They just celebrated their 2nd wedding anniversary and the birth of their first adorable daughter. Feeling sentimental and wanting a really meaningful gift to give them, I broke out the scissors and crafted something unique and Laura-esque. Dang, I wish I had thought of this for their wedding! She wore an adorable yellow dress to her wedding rehearsal that would have been complemeneted nicely by this necklace...and what a way to share their story with their loved ones at the same time! Then I could have made him a hidden bracelet (shown) he could have worn on his wrist as they got married, and I could have made cloth flowers to incorporate into the bouquets and bouttonneires, and for the flower girl...my brain is teeming with creative uses for the shirt I just repurposed. I may even make some booties for a special little girl who's about to be Baptized...

Anyway, what you see here is perfect for Laura, but you have your own style and your own story to tell. Send me something you'd like to accompany you on your wedding day...a treasured scarf, a dress from your favorite date, the picnic blanket you sat on the night he proposed. Maybe it's a tablecloth or personal item of a deceased loved one who can't be with you on your special day. Think big and I'll meet you there.

Deployment Scarf


I'm not gonna lie. When my husband went to Basic Training last year and I had no daily communication or proximity to him I almost lost my isht. Before he left he made me and my daughters a "Hug-a-Daddy," his pillow with his shirt on it. I snuggled next to that every night. I wish I'd had something at the time to bring with me on days I missed him most, but it didn't seem practical to wear his shirt every day. To help other wives, daughters, sons, moms, dads, grandmas, etc who are feeling blue I created the Deployment Scarf. On days you really wish you could be next to your hero but distance is between you, you can wear a reminder of him or her to keep your loved one close to your heart. 

This shirt is made from my husband's battallion PT shirt, but I'm guessing you have a scrap of something that is meaningful to you. Send it to me and I'd love to make you something to get you through your difficult days. Please share with others you know who are missing our troops in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard, and Reserves. You never know who needs the lift today.
