Truth and Beauty Bombs

or like
a smaller shirt
i have about 2000 xxl shirts from all my volunteering around the city and stuff
and i really love them but i can't quite just wear them
re: tents

some of them are long enough to be dresses?
anyway does anyone know any relatively simple patterns that can be cut from tshirt material
or like
one of those stupid diy sites for turning shirts into shirts

on thinkgeek there was a kit to non-destructively turn a shirt into a pillow

iirc it was cheap

use a belt to turn them into dresses
or
tie them up at the back

cut out the
parts with writing/pictures on them
and
safetypin them to the back of your jacket

what am I a faggot

there aren't many
options here!!!!!!!!!

quilt them obviously

Get really fat.

Didn't sneaky do this with shirts for a while? Where is she? She needs to dispense wisdom.

you turn them inside out

pin them along the seams at the sides

sew along this pins

cut off the excess cloth

turn them back right side out, and wear them


but if they're way to big you probably can't do that and have it work.

Use them as nightgowns.

she had a book of some sort with a bunch of patterns in it. i wanna say it was called Generation T? or something similarly dumb.

that sounds promising
also thanks smax that sounds even plausible

If this is the book you mean, it's what I was going to suggest too. I saw it at my library and it had some kinda cute ideas in it. There's also a sequel.

how do i get that for free on the internet

read Generation E

Just substitute it with "T-Shirt".

hiiiiiiiiiiiiii




this works, though it's a good idea to lay it down flat before sewing and even out the pins so the shirt lays flat and is symmetrical. you can also continue the pins along the underarm seam of the sleeve.

if it's a super big shirt, the sleeves will end up looking strange, but you can just cut them off and it'll still look fine. you can also cut the sleeves into different shapes, like little cap sleeves, if that's a thing you want. cutting out a neckline pretty much always makes a shirt look more awesome. a t-shirt is basically a series of tubes.

important things are
that you can always cut more off so start with small amounts, obvs
also if you're sewing on a machine, use a stretch stitch (looks like --^--^--) or zigzag because if you sew with a straight stitch it's going to pop apart as you pull the shirt down over yourself. even a shallow zigzag will be better than a straight stitch.

awesome thanks everybody!
im gonna use this inside out pin method to make some dresses i will let you know how it goes

also sneaky hi! <3
i always sew by hand so it will take forevs

I have like two or three sewing machines but I never learned how to use any of them! Melissa come over and my boyfriend can teach us how to show because he taught himself in one single ordinary day and offered to teach me but I wasn't interested at the time and now I want to erase this burden of regret I have! Bring your shirts!

oh man gimme one!
i can use a sewing machine but im afraid of loud noises so i dont

I wanted to find a picture from the Internet of the really neat one built into a table that we found on the sidewalk for free, but I couldn't find one! And it is in the basement and my camera's batteries need charging anyway.

It really would be easier if you just came over to see it imo

Oh the reason I even started mentioning it is because it is surprisingly quiet for a sewing machine.

I have one of these

that is currently being used as an end table in the living room

i misplaced my pillowcase around the same time that I noticed i have a lot of old tshirts with holes in them

so i just put them on my naked pillow, which is way more convenient than actually looking for it or throwing old shirts away

max wawer needs to put a tshirt on his
naked pillow

w-what is this a reference to
