reclaiming clothes

I want to start reclaiming clothes weather it be ones that no longer fit me or hubby, or ones I found at the op shop. To get the ball rolling I thought I'd start on something easy. The boys don't have a lot of singlet tops and with this hot weather we are having I thought now was a good time to do something about it. I'm not a big fan of buying licensed clothes, but if there from an op shop and only a few dollars then I'm happy to.

These two tops only cost $1 each and Mr 5 loves Angry Birds so that's his and I love the 'Jammin' dude so Mr 7 can have that, now both of these are far to big for my boys so I turned them into tank tops for them

And here they are.
 

This was very simple as I kept the original neck line for both. On the Angry Birds I kept the same side seams and just shorten the hem and with 'Jammin' I shorten the hem and took in the side seams. All in all I'm very happy with how they turned out and they both fit! stay turned for more to come
