DIY for Environmentalists: Crafting, Making, Project How-to's, and more!
Ta Dah!! You made a skirt! Wasn’t that easy? You can either wear it over like the photo above or under the shirt like the first photo. Either way, you now have an uber soft, easy skirt all summer long!!
This skirt can be a quick cover up after you worked out at the gym and don’t want to parade around town in gym shorts en route to your home. Or if you make a longer skirt, you can use it as a beach cover up. Actually, even if it’s short, it can be used a beach cover up!

Hi there! I'm Becky Striepe, a green crafter and vegan foodie living in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and two cats. My mission is to make eco-friendly crafts and vegan food accessible to anyone who wants to give them a go.
Hello! My name is Bonnie Getchell and overall, I'm a craft nerd! I love making crafts, re-doing furniture, and anything along those lines. I especially love creating items that are from recycled materials like toilet paper rolls, bottles, etc.
I'm the lucky momma of two little blonde daddy-clones--we spend our days doing elaborate art projects, trashing the house, eating cheese cubes and oranges, and waiting for my partner to get home from his day job so we can pester him.

This intuition about the vintage of I Love New York t-shirts is correct. The origin of the design was in 1977: the Deputy Commissioner of the New York State Department of Commerce, William S. Doyle, knew that New York had incredible potential to attract tourists. At the same time, he was aware that many tourists didn’t bother to visit the city — some were worried about crime, or annoyed by high prices, but most simply never thought to go there. He needed a slogan that would not convince people that it was a good city to visit — he needed a slogan that would take the millions of people who were already convinced, and catalyze their decision to make the trip.
