Summer shirt hand made from six recycled 1970s cotton and linen tea towels.

The back is a Souvenir from Cornwall map featuring a St Ives artist, a pirate ship, a swimmer and lots of other illustrations. One side of the front is wild flowers and on the other is jars of herbs and spices. The yoke is a pink printed cross-stitch sampler and the sleeves feature printed flowers, a hillside town, a cow and an old-fashioned rucksack. On the collar are sky and clouds and a tiny log cabin. 

The shirt fastens with six found buttons and has a hanging loop, side splits and hand bound sleeves.
