UPDATE July 30th

Adding Link of Tees that I have not reconstructed yet. I will be getting to them in due time though so if you want to request one custom made for you please do so quickly before I cut it up and reconstruct it however I want to. :P

Customs will be in the same price range as the others $40-50 depending on how much work and how much extra fabric I need and if I need to buy extras like buttons or ribbons etc.

Available Tee Flickr Set

UPDATE July 29th

Added Electro Love Boat Select. I really like the way this one turned out with the wide ties at the shoulders. The ties can be just knotted or tied into a bow like shown as they're not fixed. $40

Sorry for the crappy picture but this is what happens when I let the boyfriend take the pictures.. lol he didn't even wait for me to pose or smile. hehe I'm just lucky my eyes are open :P

Electro Love Boat Front


UPDATE July 26th

Just added Rollin' Hatin Select Reconstruction. This one was crazy tough since the whole back was damaged with a black grease. I reconstructed it as a deep scoop back halter top. There is a medium purple tie around the neck and a dark purple band from front to back that keeps the girls from falling out the sides ;) it can also be used to hide a bra band. I did one version of this and it didn't work so I had to pullt he whole thing apart and start again. $45

Pictures below.. I apologize for my icky sunburn lines :P

Rollin' Hatin Back

UPDATE July 23rd

Symbol or Signifier Select reconstruction. Cut off the top of the tee and added a deep purple tank style top. Added a patchwork overlay of pieces of top of the shirt that was cut off. Edges were bound with an extra strip of the purple fabric and secured with a zig-zag stitch. The design is a little off kilter and not 100% centered and the hem has a teeny irregularity where the front was only a quarter of an inch longer in the front.. I liked it so when I put the front and back together I left the irregularity in the hem. Going to have to say $45 for this one because of all the extra labor that went into it.

UPDATE July 9th
I Got Another Whale is finished and available. I cut the design out and carefully placed it ontop of a made from scratch Heather Grey tee that I made. The tee has a wide slightly scooped ballet neck. The overlay is held on with a grey zig-zag stitch along the edge done twice with a single straight black stitch along the edges of the cat and the whale where is is very unobtrusive to the design.. as you can see in the picture the stitch is hardly visable but it add extra durability and strength to the design patch. $40
Caught a whale

UPDATE July 5th
Attack of Literacy is now available! This fits much closer to a girly medium than a girly large tee (as you can see it's a bit tight on me) but it came out super cute. The straps were a pain to figure out so I have to charge a little more for this one. To be sold to Ladykat. :)

Round Two:
Not too many this time... only two so far.. I'm working on Attack of Literacy right now but it's not going to be done till probably tomorrow.

ps sorry for the crappy photos.. I had to take them myself and I accidentally had the camera on the wrong setting so the pics look kinda grainy. :/ but it's enough to get the idea across for the moment. I'll get better pics as soon as I can bribe the boyfriend to take them.

Patchwork reconstructed as a tunic / dress. It is actually long enough to be worn as a dress :) I just hate my legs so I'm wearing it as a tunic with jeans. True size large fit, although this can be easily reduced down to a medium if the buyer wants. $40
patchwork_front_model

Ci'trust me its Moving reconstructed as a cutie cross-back tank top. This one runs small much closer to a medium than a large as you can see it's really snug on me. $40
citrust_me_front_model

Ok well this is my first batch of reconstructions :) All shirts are about the equivalent of a girly large tee.

*Edit* All Designs below are now listed at www.LillianDietel.etsy.com

Serenade patched over an aeropostale tissue tee with some other bird screenprint on it. Colored thread is stitched through the design to add texture and to secure the overlay to the shirt. - Holding for miss Twiggyhall :)
serenade flat front

MP3 turned into an extra long tunic top with a ruffle on the collar and a bold white stripe around the middle. $30
MP3 flat front

Ignorance is Bliss made into a fun tanktop with added black detailing on the straps and hem. $35 (I liked this one so much I made 2 so I could keep one! hehe)
fascinant flat front

The Doomsday Select made into a ruched tank with a black ribbon made of teeshirt material that ties in the back. SOLD!

There are more pictures of all of the tees on my flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/pyralis16/ I'm even modeling them all so you can see better how they look.

Anyways all reconstructions are for sale and unless called for here will be going up on www.LillianDietel.etsy.com later tonight when I get around to reformatting all the photos to the square etsy format.

Whoa, those are so cool! I didn't really care for Doomsday, personally, but I would actually consider buying it if it were in that tank form that you created! :-)

yeah, that doomsday one is adorable. i'd even like it if it was the same height on front and back, instead of the scoop back

thanks everyone! And if you are smaller than a girls large (I'll be adding measurements on etsy) I would be more than happy to alter any design that can be reduced in size.

Kookaberry on Jun 18 '08 at 12:41am
Why would you sell a $40 shirt that you put work into for $40. I would expect it to be a lot more. I mean...*cough* that's all well and good. I wish I hadn't already purchased one cause that one looks pretty sweet. Well they all do.

All shirts were purchased from threadless at a discount because they were originally flawed and unsellable in some way Kooka. So yeah I had to buy them but not at full price so I can keep the prices low for you all :) And yeah the flaws did make picking a design for each shirt a challenge... but they all now have new life and a chance at getting worn and enjoyed.

i looove the tank you made for ignorance is bliss. i'm not much of a red shirt person, though. any chance you'll be making more in that style? (wink wink nudge nudge)
pyr4lis
pyr4lis on Jun 18 '08 at 2:41am
possibly. since each shirt has some sort of flaw I need to work around though I cannot promise there will be many duplications of styles.. but I'm pretty sure I've exhausted the red shirts I have anyways lol so there probably won't be any more reds for awhile.

The next is is a cami / tank using citrust me it's moving. Should be ready tomorrow since I'm too tired to finish it tonight.

After that I've got some other tees I'll be working on

Awesome! I love the Adorable Disaster halter!!

Oh man, I really need to get back on the quilt. You know, I'm thinking... maybe I could just plan on having it done for the meetup, and we could do a raffle (for charity, of course!) then? I'll chat with the Threadless folks...

pajama pants?
zipper hoodies?
kilts?

not sure what guys would wear. then again, i think some ppl like a regular t-shirt, but maybe operated on a bit to add another layer like that first picture.

hrmm.. I may make an attempt at a guys tee later today. I have an idea and just need to see if I have any designs that will work with it.

I contain ovaries. I keep them in a jar over my computer.
pyr4lis
pyr4lis on Jun 18 '08 at 6:48pm
if they're in a jar that would just mean that you own them?? hehehe
shakethesheets
shakethesheets on Jun 18 '08 at 8:27pm
Or she puts them into containers... Contain. Something like that.

These look great, I'm excited to see what you'll end up doing for guys. I think putting a design on a zip hoodie somehow would be pretty sweet... If you found a way to sew a design onto a polo or button-down, I bet those would be big sellers. Threadless you can wear to work!

pyr4lis on Jun 18 '08 at 10:01pm
hrmm polo or buttondown.. I'd be willing to work with that although buying the base polo or buttondown would definately up the prices for the guys quite a bit more than the girls ones if guys would be ok with that.

Hrmm... I've got a A.A. in Design & a B.A. in Fashion Design. Sucky though that with all those degrees I've only ever had to take 1 computer graphics course. But I've learned alot through working experience. Anyways I'm currently working as an Accessory Designer in LA.

I love my cat. His name is Zelazny and he's just the sweetest kitty ever! He love people... even strangers! He love taking naps where he doesn't belong and being picked up and those little kitty treats with the crunchy outside and squishy inside. He love feather sticks and little catnip mice. He does not like dogs and other cats. He is a big bully and will try to beat them up. He will also meow until you pick him up and give him attention. :D
