What a great idea, I have some shirts that could be reused. Great photographs.

Very creative – I think JCP has some great maternity tops…there again, I often add a tank under my shirts (or my bra looks like a tank).

Yes, Cassi, I’ve noticed that almost nothing sticks to it! And freezer meals… I really need to make some of those! I think the parchment paper is so much better than buying those disposable baking pans! Which I never buy unless I’m making a casserole to give away. But freezer meals… yes, I really should try making some of those!

I use it to line my baking dishes when I’m making freezer meals. I freeze the casseroles in the dish, then lift it out, parchment paper and all and put them in zip-top bags in the freezer.

I make homemade candy, and I’m here to tell you, this stuff is my best friend. NOTHING sticks to it! I can pour my peanut brittle syrup straight from the pan onto an undoctored sheet of parchment, and when it cools and hardens, it just lifts right off. No more greasy-bottomed peanut brittle from buttering the pan, and no more washing the pan, because there’s that inevitable spot where it stuck a bit anyway. LOVE IT!

I’m so glad you found the tutorial helpful! I plan on making more myself… once I can get more old shirts that will work. I don’t know that I have any. But thrift stores are full of them!

This is so weird. I have been looking on line for dickies, didn’t want to pay shipping. I suddenly realized I could make my own, so immediately (yesterday) got a few damaged t-shirts from my rag bag, but I’m not a seamstress. I barely started cutting one, but something said, “Wait.”

I found your blog only hours later! Using your instructions, I won’t mangle them; then I’ll have what I need to keep my upper chest warm when I have to wear light clothing for summer. (If I don’t, I tend to catch colds.)

Teach a woman to make her own, And she’ll have dickies for a lifetime. Thank You!
