I'm still learning as I go and starting with some t-shirt reconstructions I've been working on: Batman skirt made from a men's XL with a hideously busy design on the back. I made it into the two black side panels (the opposite black panel is blank) and added the red front/back panels and waistband. I can't wait to wear it to Dark Knight!   Similar skirt made from a men's XXL Charlie and the Chocolate Factory shirt and a dark blue shirt:    I've also been trying my hand at making some tanks. Here's a before and after of a Flogging Molly shirt I had from years ago. I tightened it up and added the black bands, paneling, and collar/sleeve lining.   This was a men's XL Speed Racer shirt. I took in the sides, cut off the top, and added the red banding and straps. It's much cuter now and I wish I had the before pictures.  This one didn't turn out quite as well, but it's still comfy and fun to wear (it was fine until I let the embroidery buckle on the bottom triangles).

Thanks for the compliments! I really want to start moving up dress patterns, but I just have so many old t-shirts on hand... Does anyone have any practical tips on making darts? I'm getting a lot of puckering and having trouble resolving the issue.
