As a teacher, I am lucky to have 2 weeks off for Christmas and with all of this time on my hands, I have been feeling a little bit crafty! I follow several artsy blogs and this one caught my eye. Ashley at Lil Blue Boo has created patterns for reusing old t-shirts to make the cutest dresses, skirts and hoodies for kids. When I saw her recycled t-shirt hoodie pattern for sale in her etsy shop, I thought to myself, I can do that! And I did! (And I am so proud since I don't claim to be anything more than a super-beginner seamstress!)
I started with three t-shirts from Goodwill - just in case I totally messed up, I didn't want to cut up some of Cooper's shirts that I liked! 
And after just a few hours of cutting and sewing on my 1970's Singer, this was the result: a super cute hoodie for my Coop!
I had the best time learning how to sew this shirt - it was so much fun! And because I was sewing recycled t-shirts, I wasn't worried about making a mistake. And it was seriously easy! I think I may have created a monster... pretty soon all of Cooper's shirts will be recycled hoodies!
