Our Exclusive Cooperstown T-Shirts

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.)

We just love this shirt - shades of Spring in stripes of light green, with our "local" design on the front. The underlying fabric is a happy vintage floral print of red, blue, and white flowers on a yellow ground. Women's size medium/large. $25 (Click the Buy it Now button below to purchase.)

This polo shirt is a kids' size medium (12), although it would fit a petite woman, as well. We've refashioned this polo shirt with the "local" design cut out of the back. The underlying fabric is a great geometric vintage print, suitable for boys or girls, in black, red, and white. This shirt is priced at $20. (Click the Buy it Now button below to purchase.)









This long-sleeved henley t-shirt, a women's size medium, features the "local" design cut out of the back. The underlying fabric is a happy, floral vintage print - faded blue background with sprays of yellow, orange, and pink flowers. The front of the shirt has been left in its original state, with a row of 9 pearly buttons. SOLD

Martha and Karen never outgrew the whole "hippie chick" thing. We could not resist this great tie-dyed t-shirt. It's a women's size medium/large. Tie-dye is shades of gold, turquoise, and red, and the "local" design is cut out of the front. The underlying fabric is a paisley on a white background - shades of red, turquoise, gold, and pink. Peace and love. SOLD

This kids' size medium polo shirt features our "local" design on the back, with an underlying vintage fabric in tones of turquoise, tan, and green. The shirt itself is a beautiful, soft leaf green. Priced at $20. (Click on the Buy it Now button below to purchase.)
