Re-discovering and Re-interpreting


















My boyfriend's parents moved house recently, and when we went through all his old stuff we found dozens of T-shirts from when he was about 15. They brought back loads of memories and I loved looking at all the old 'rebellious' messages, skateboarding companies and band logos he had emblazoned across his chest! My favourite was one referring to the Miners Strike in the 80's that showed the Miner's and included a Doors lyric, 'They've got the guns, but we've got the numbers'. Anyway I've decided to make a collection of bags and dresses using said T-shirts, and give them a new look and purpose in life. Here's the first one I've made, using a Napalm Death T-shirt, made in to a rather more feminine strapless dress.
