DIY Upcycled Patchwork Shirt

Hi everyone! I am a first-year fashion design major at the Parsons School for Design. I am currently enrolled in a sustainable systems class in which we had to prepare a DIY object tutorial made from a readily available waste stream. Inspired by a project I did at my high school, Design and Architecture Senior High, I went around to dry cleaners in my town of Cold Spring, NY and asked for dry cleaned men's shirts that had never been picked up. For this project, I recommend going to your local dry cleaners, thrift store, or raiding a closet to gather your shirts. Happy making!

In addition to the dress shirts, you will need a sewing machine, fabric scissors, and pins.
