Sometimes as a spoonie life knocks you over with just a gentle breeze.... So it's been a while since I've made any silly projects for myself (which often makes me more depressed!! Yay!!). Tried sitting down last week and painting whatever doodle came to mind on a t shirt to get back into a small swing of things, and of course it was The Forgetmenauts again..... <3
"i took a zombie to prom and all i got was this lousy t-shirt" and some very simplistic forget-me-nots flowers on the shirt!!!! I did originally picture painting more (like aged tombstones and maybe mushrooms) but I think I like the simpler design atm.
(Just realized you can still see ugly yellow the chalk lines on the shirt in the pics lol)

here you go, here's just an outrageously high definition My Clerical Gnomance logo for all you freaks out there. also here's a dropbox link to it.
shoutout to Raven Blackhardt who made the font The Chemical Parade, available for free online at this link. (I'm like 99% sure that's what the folks at D20 used, too.)

Thinking of making a little rug to put next to my bed.
This article explains how to make one continuous strip of yarn out of a t-shirt. I wonder if I could use the same principle with old leggings.

Hey! You! Do you have several unused t-shirts from an old job, a summer camp, or a family reunion you regret attending? Maybe you'd rather have a shirt that says "SAD BUT RAD" or "I HATE THE IRS" or "THE DESPAIR CANNOT HAVE ME"?
I call this project the T-Shirt Remix.
Supplies:
several shirts you hate, all with words
one shirt that fits you okay
cardboard (will explain)
a camera or a friend
thread, needle, pins
a few hours
gumption
[maybe paint if you're missing any letters]
My base shirt is from the old awful warehouse job. I started by cutting the huge graphic off the back and patching it with a blank piece of an ancient attitude tee. (If your shirt's graphic is small enough to cover with letters, you can skip this step!)
I whipstitched all around the edges to keep it in place. Also, my text is going on the back because my current cargo job keeps wearing the print off my shirt fronts. You can do as you like!
Take those old shirts and cannibalize them. Hack out the logos and take the letters you need. Cuss, pray, meditate, disassociate, or all of the above as you purge something awful and remix it into a better form. I chose "On the way to better days!"
[I didn't have a B. I'll use white paint for it.]
Next thing you'll want is a photo of you in the shirt, just so you can see the flat parts vs the wrinkled parts and envision your design. [You'd hate to have a critical part of the graphic wrinkled up by your armpit or your underboob, no?] If you don't have a camera, a friend might be able to help you; I'm just super visual.
Next is where the cardboard comes in. Lay the shirt flat and put the cardboard inside the shirt so you can't pin the back and front together.
Now put those letters in place and shove pins through them. Try to keep them flat, but jersey is also very forgiving.
This next step requires caution. You need to try the shirt on (careful, it's sharp!). But it's important to photograph it on your body because you'll probably need to tweak it. As you see below, my straight lines of text ended up going upward (either the shirt's crooked or I am; IDK) and required a second round of adjustment and pins. It's ok. Now is the time to fix it, not after it's already sewn.
Fidget it around until it makes your heart happy.
And now the last step is to sew the letters on! Which...I am about to go do. Right now. For sure. I'll report back!

I doodled this fun yet meaningful little design, really liked it, then ended up painting it on a shirt. This line of events tends to occur frequently with me....

Y’all I made a Grifter’s Bone band-tshirt!
The logo is an old patch that I didn’t like on the jacket and the t-shirt is thrifted and had a logo I really didn’t like:D stay sustainable
