Kia Ora, (Hello)

It is Monday here in New Zealand and this is my latest project. A shirt made from FIVE vintage linen tea towels. I got the tea towels in a big bundle I won in an auction. It took about two days to make as I've never made one before. The linen is a dream to sew with, each tea towel tells a story and is super cool and light to wear 399187183_699883252117956_1538469976163970414_n.jpg

This shirt was actually a practice run, I used the tea towels I didn't like as much - but I ended up really loving the end result. The buildings and images are super charming 403625853_386271547064036_3552704693743619220_n.jpg

My daughter wanted this, but it is a bit too big - so I am going to make her one for Chirstmas. She loves Scotland so I will make it Scotland themed and use these tea towels

Have you ever created something with linen tea towels? Or would you?
