I’m so sorry we couldn’t feature everyone’s makes here, but there were just so many. THAT’S how awesome it’s been. Words cannot express how excited I am that you’ve all got so involved and how clever and creative you all are!

    Thank you so much for featuring my t shirt! And thank you for running such a great competition – it’s been so inspiring to see what everyone comes up with from essentially the same starting point. That’s why sewing is so awesome!

    Thanks for including the refashion I did for my sister in this post! And thank you so much for organizing The Refashioners! It really got my creative juices flowing and seeing so many awesome refashions in one place has been great! I’m already looking forward to next time. Meanwhile, I have more shirt refashion ideas to try out and a few more blogs to follow!

    Thanks so much for what was a great idea for a group challenge. I have so many ideas to copy now!

    The charity shops in the vicinity better send out an SOS for more mens shirts.
