This shirt was XL previously, and I no longer wear clothes that baggy. I'll have fun wearing this out! I think I'll cut out a strip from the top of each shoulder side-wise, and include more laces there to sexify the sleeves a bit, they're boring atm. But I'm very happy with the book, and even happier with this shirt! Only 50 more shirts to go!..."

Edit 3/20/08: This creation is now for sale on my new Etsy shop: http://Mellonea.Etsy.com. I created this from old t-shirts, Cut and sewed into panels that would make a skirt! I sewed them onto a white jersey skirt I already had, that had a stain on it, so sizing wasn't an issue, thankfully, the skirt base already fit me. This is the second article of clothing I've ever used a sewing machine to make, and beings that I used no pattern, it took a lot of mock-ups and eyeballing, and "Just trying it" to get it right. I estimate it took me around 11 hours to make. If I did it again, I think I could do it in more like 5, since I'd know what I was doing...."

I sprayed with bleach, carefully removed the stencils without ripping them, (so I could use them again,) and threw the pants into the wash. I really like how they turned out, and I think the gal who is getting them will like them very much, too!..."

Edit 3/20/08 I'm now making /flex shirts for folks, @ http://Mellonea.Etsy.com /flex is one of my favorite WoW (World of Warcraft) emotes. Often, the programmers made this emote way over-the-top, and funny to watch. It's also rather instantly recognizable in silhouette, which made it a good subject for this shirt. I read Jesse and Brenda's instructions and saw their bleach shirts, and was so inspired! Taking my cue from Jesse and Brenda, I wanted to print out stencils and cut them out, and I found some semi-card-stock around the house. After printing and the long and tiring chore of cutting them all out with scissors and X-acto knives, I sprayed the backs of them with Spray Adhesive and let it dry for 15 minutes, so it would form a temporary-only bond with the shirt. By using this method, I hoped to retain some of the finer details of hair, bones, fingers, etc. And it worked! Oh my, it worked! I didn't even let the shirt dry completely before ripping it out of the..."
