at quirky works studio, every day is Earth Day!!Today we are announcing our exclusive line of 100% recycled Cooperstown t-shirts! Each one is unique. Made entirely out of recycled materials, including thrift store shirts and vintage and remnant fabric, the shirts are hand-crafted by Martha and Karen. We purchase clean, sturdy used shirts locally, then match them with our fabric and thread stash, then stitch and cut. We have a range of sizes and styles – kids’, women and men. We even have sweatshirts that we’ve recycled. Our supply is based on what we can find in our local re-sale shops. We try not to buy anything new – even our thread! That means that our shirts are unique, and they’re affordable, because we can pass our frugality on to our customers.
The shirts feature two designs: one is "coop" which stands for Cooperstown, NY, where we live and work. The other is "local" for the folks who live here all year.
The t-shirt pictured below (and in the detail above) is a men's size XXL athletic tank that we think would be adorable as a tunic with a little white cami underneath. Unless you are a big man, and you'd like to wear it "as is" - that's fine, too. The orange jersey t-shirt is 
embellished with our exclusive cut out "coop" design, and the underlying fabric is a paisley in shades of orange, pink, red, light blue, and yellow. This t-shirt is priced at $25. (Click the Buy it Now button below to purchase.)
