Infini-tee by maya*made

All this talk about repurposing old tee shirts into wall art and bags made me think of this lovely idea! By Maya, of maya*made fame. She uses two tee shirts in this project. And calls it infini-tee, so apt because it is a scarf, a skirt-wrap AND a shoulder poncho-like thing, all at one go! So so so inspiring, this is one of my favourites.

Go check out the instructions on how to make this here.

The reinvention scarf from maya*made

Clothes that don’t fit any more, outdated styles that you wouldn’t be caught dead in, worn jeans with holes in the knees or cushion covers with zippers torn – if you are a hoarder of any of these or if you just happen to have them around, you have the makings of a beautiful stole. Uncommon prettiness can be found when mixing and matching simple pieces of fabric. Those inspiration brain cells need a small nudge, is all.

And all the inspiration in the world can be found at maya*made. Maya creates things of beauty from the most simple, every day materials that are a joy to see and read about. She has been a sport and has OK’d sharing some of her creations on Second to None, so here is one of many DIY projects! This is super exciting, actually because I have been a fan!

This she calls the reinvention scarf. It IS a reinvention because the pieces come together to create something that is more than the sum of its parts. Plain fabric, pockets (!) to create a stash pouch, bits of lace, a few buttons maybe…
