99 Ways to Make a $2 T-shirt Look even Worse

I know, I know.  I shouldn't have tried another t-shirt project after the last one turned out so severely shitty.  You could say I am persistent.  You could say I am a glutton for punishment. 

I checked out a book from my library after the last t-shirt fiasco.  It's written by a bunch of Italian designers, and the idea behind it is to take a plain t-shirt and turn it into something that you would want to wear out of the house, and not to the gym.  (I should have remembered how our French exchange student interpreted the word "special.")

After flipping through the book I found the t-shirt re-design that looked easy enough for me to sew - and like it might have a somewhat attractive result.

Things started off okay!  I followed the directions and cut my t-shirt.

Well, of course, I was totally wrong.  However, in this case I don't think it was totally my fault.(I know that it is a poor workman who blames his tools, but if you have read my entries in this blog, well, you already know I am a poor workman!)  My old ass Singer machine sometimes decides that bobbin pressure is a silly, silly thing.

  Hello friend.  It looks like you and I will be having a long time together to bond.

 Then, I realized that one half of the stupid thing had folded over onto itself. 













Oh, hello friend.  It's been FAR too long!

 And I know you are waiting with baited breath.

Here is the result.

And I didn't think it looked half- bad.  But now, let's put it on, shall we?

WHAT THE HELL?!?!? 

Now I have something that cost $2, and that isn't even fit for the gym.  I don't know if I will be entering T-shirt crafts again.  I mean, I know that hilarity ensues, but REALLY. 

She got a wierd ass hat out of it.  (And so did I.)

By the way, your welcome for my keeping on my t-shirt while I tried on the fiasco.  You're very welcome.
(Is it your welcome or you're welcome? Someone who knows please post which it is...)
