Okay so I lied, most of it wasn't scraps, but miscellaneous fabric pieces that I cut out. But it's still awesome nonetheless! I used a t-shirt that I fitted as a guide, and this one turned out just as tight, in both senses of the word :)

I hemmed the bottom, but I purposely left the edges all wonky. Gives it more flavor ;)

This shirt goes well with my patch pants (http://forum.threadbanger.com/showthread.php?t=3751):

I didn't really have much problem sewing the different fabrics. The stretchy ones posed only a little difficulty. I just used a heavy duty needle and normal presser foot.

I'm sure there are a lot of memories attach onto this patchwork shirt and pants ... for each piece of fabric
