Love the T- shirt alteration - although I would
consider it really just a re-use of fabric since none of the original t-shirts' construction is used! Which means it is also a great idea for using scraps of knit fabric. Cool!
Also love the various bags since I don't yet have a summery bag and that ruffled one caught my eye - maybe another scrap project since the fabrics could be all different types.
