Customised Tshirts

It’s no secret that I now sell some of my favorite and most popular designs as tshirts and cards for you to buy at Red Bubble, and I can tell you that Mimi is now the proud owner of tshirt featuring Tiffany Hula Dancing.  The quality of the tshirt (the first I’ve bought through Red Bubble), is soft, stretchy, and seems to wash ok.  But what I really wanted to remind you was that you can make any tshirt you-nique by sewing on embellishments.  The tshirt Mimi has on is designed with just the girl graphic (click here to see), and then we added on the hula-skirt.  The point is, you can do this with any tshirt you buy. 

• Got a cat on your tshirt?  Sew on a collar and bell. 
• Got a tree?  Iron on an applique bird.
• Got a teddy? Give him some button details.
• Got a blank one?  Add half a dozen fabric flowers and use a laundry marker to draw a few stems and hey presto you have a bouquet.

Whatever you decide, see if you can turn your 'standard' tshirt into a sort-of sewing lesson for your children; they’ll wear their new tshirt with even more pride if they helped to make it themselves.
And now – adios! – I’m off for a week... Happy-Husband has a long overdue holiday-break coming up and there’s no way he’ll shush if I craft’n’blog’n’email while he’s around!  As for the rest of you – stay crafty – I have high expectations of all of you! x
