hey, post your DIY's or reconstructions or any sites with tutorials or whatever.

i'm about to head to walmart and get super-cheap boy t-shirts and start cutting/sewing shit up. i'm excited :D

anyways, need ideas. i've been going through http://community.livejournal.com/t_shirt_surgery, but tbh none of the reconstructions there are really my style

i was looking at this site the other day

http://www.instructables.com/


are you gonna take shirts in? becuase the reason i even found that site is because i really wanna take some t shirts in. my shoulders are too broad for the rest of me or something. i have a lot of t shirts that fit in the shoulders but i wish they were a couple inches slimmer the rest of the way down. i been reading about how to do it myself but i don't have sewing machine or know shit about sewing _dry.gif i don't wanna go pay to have them taken in because they fit for the most part and it's not that bad.

^ lol my sewing knowledge is sorta limited to whatever i learned in home economics back in junior high. i thought my grandma had a sewing machine, but apparently she threw it away and now i'm doing everything by hand which is taking foreverrrr. but taking shirts in isn't too hard if you sort of have basic sewing knowledge. if you have a shirt that fits the way you want it to down the body, just use it as a template. and i'm pretty sure they've got hand-sewing tutorials online.

sleeves are sort of a bitch though -_-

yeah i have no clue how to sew up the side of a shirt by hand. i'll have to read about it. when i watched those sewing machine tutorials it takes 3 seconds.

The most DIY I've ever gotten is duct tape on my shoe after I got a hole in the canvas part.

jesus christ-

its not to WEAR.
"SCENE" kids buy them, you know, 'emo' girls who tease their hair..uhh.idk how else to explain "scene" but yeh, scene girls wear them for photos which they typically put on myspace.
They sell fast. Easy money.

my god. its not for me!!

way to be extremely defensive.
easy money doesn't mean you HAVE to make it

if I wanted to make easy money, I'd stand by the clubs at night and tell em that I do one of a kind designs. you know strippers like those things and pay $50 + for stuff that takes up so little fabric.
but I don't.

kinda have to do what you're proud of,...



craftster.org
I go there for ideas,...I don't really post there though
