Title: I made shirts!
Post by: Khatt on 27 Jul 2007, 12:50

Pretty self explainatory. I decided to whip out the needle and thread!... or the scalding hot iron. Anyway, here's some of the alterations and iron-ons I have done!

Iron-ons

That shirt used to be a shirt dress and have three-quarter length sleeves. I decided I just wanted it to be a button up t-shirt. All of the sewing was done by hand because I have a fear of sewing machines. =)

Sewing machines aren't scary! I've made whole quilts on 'em.... speaking of which, I really have to take pictures of them....

Very cool, though. Changing boring shirts is always superfun.

Those are really cute! You should learn to screenprint; that way, your image will last longer (and arguably look cooler). I can write a quick guide to get you started, if you are interested and want help.

Oh man, would I ever like that! I'd love for the images to last longer, that'd be the downside to iron-ons. I really enjoy how bold they look though.

Thanks for the comments on the shirts, eventually I should have some more done. When they are I'll post 'em.

Nice. I really liked the one you made the alterations on. And yes, sewing machines are awesome and should not be feared, although...sewing by hand is more fun if you've a lot of time on your hands and are very bored.

One more Iron-on! A nice little textface on my favourite sweater.
