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
