CUSTOM T-SHIRT RECONSTRUCTION INFO!
The world has many t-shirts.
Maybe you already have a t-shirt you’d like to see reconstructed into something new. Or maybe you like to browse the racks at the thrift store, where many t-shirts wait to be given new life. In any case, I’m here to help. Recycle, reconstruct!
Send me your mass-produced t-shirt, and I will turn it into a one-of-a-kind garment or accessory, made just for you.
There are 13 women’s clothing styles available, most in five sizes for women (XS - XL). There is one style available for men: the zip-up hoodie, in three sizes (S - L). There is one accessory style: a tote. Check the styles and prices on each item’s page.
I use other recycled/thrifted t-shirts & vintage fabrics as accent fabrics in reconstructing your t-shirt.

HOW-TO:
You have a t-shirt you’d like restyled. It must be at least one to two sizes larger than the finished size. It can be more than one to two sizes larger, the bigger the better! And you only need to send me one t-shirt. I will provide the rest of the fabric.
You choose a style from the main reconstruction page, and choose your size from the size chart. Select which style and size you’d like your t-shirt reconstructed into, and add it to the shopping cart. Shipping will be added upon checkout.
In the "Notes" box in the shopping cart (not in the PayPal cart, please), please list any color or pattern preferences and I will do my best to accomodate you. Please also write me a note if you are sending more than one shirt, stating which shirt should be made into what.
Send me the t-shirt(s): the address will be listed in the e-mail invoice you will receive after you order! *Please pre-wash your t-shirt if it is brand new and hasn’t been washed yet! This will prevent shrinkage after your shirt has been reconstructed.
*I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SENDING YOUR SHIRT WITH DELIVERY CONFIRMATION, SO THAT THERE IS SOME WAY TO TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, TO REDUCE THE RISK OF YOUR T-SHIRT GETTING LOST IN THE MAIL! I’m afraid I cannot be held responsible for t-shirts lost in the mail. I will email you when I receive your package.
In approximately 4 weeks from the date of receiving your t-shirt, I will be sending you a brand new garment or accessory! Please keep in mind, it will be about 4 weeks before you receive your item. As time goes on, more and more custom orders are coming in, and I do my best to keep up with them. I shop for accent fabrics for each individual order, and sometimes have to make multiple trips over weeks to find suitable fabrics. If you need a guaranteed delivery date, you MUST choose one of the rush handling options. I cannot guarantee a delivery date for any non-rush order. IF YOU CHOOSE TO RUSH AN ORDER, PLEASE SEND YOUR T-SHIRT(S) ASAP! If I don’t receive the package within 4 days of ordering, I will cancel the rush and complete the order within the usual turn-around time: approx. 4 weeks.
Accent fabrics, which come from my own stash, are of my choosing, though you may give me general ideas of preferred colors, etc. and I will do my best to accomodate you. Reconstructed work is not returnable-- if you have any questions or concerns, be sure to ask BEFORE you buy. Work will not begin until payment is received.
