Recycle! Depending on the material (you didn't say) you could make
any of the things you mentioned.

Look in the crafts section or if you've got a picture of the shirt, maybe you could post it.

I myself say if it fits you, then you wear it, restyle it a bit if need be, or make something for one of your kids.

I'm not a sewing whiz like mrsflibble, so thats the best I can offer.

The colour will go with DD2's bedroom and I COULD cut it up and 'make things' with it - ideas welcome...or is that a waste of a good designer shirt? Should I pass it on to someone who will wear it as there isn't anything wrong with it...would make some nice cushions though...or a nice dress like those ones Mrs F is so good at making for Sophie... What would a true Isher do?
I once bought a designer t shirt for £50 ... yes I was a contract worker working away and only 20 at the time and when I told my mam about the t shirt she said hmmmm a five quid t shirt with a £50 label..... since then I've been careful not to buy designer clothes. :mrgreen:

As you have it keep it. If you give it away it might be worn once and binned in a charity bag but if you cut it up and make something for your DD2's bedroom you will get more out of it for longer.
