It seems like each year, particularly summer season - I go through a phase of modifying t-shirts. Last year it was tye-dye and bleach dye. I've also done ones where you - turn the t-shirt inside out, sew scraps of fun fabric underneath, turn it right side out and make cuts on the right side of the t-shirt , revealing the fun colored patches underneath. This year I made a "fringe" shirt, where I threaded beads on the fringe, (the purple one), one where I glued little stones (leftover Diamond painting gems, actually) on to it (the blue one), and one with the patchwork as described above (black and white). Up next - mom and I have a plethora of buttons in various sizes, shapes and colors, so I would like to sew them on a couple of long sleeve t-shirts. Photo Mine

I used to have fun with T-shirst back in the day. I'm sure your mother and you would enjoy doing projects like that. Very creative and snazzy!

So much fun to see how it works out, isn't it? Momma is quite the seamstress. I'm trying to talk her into doing the tie dye with me

@DianneN Lol, I just ordered a tunic - plain Navy. Momma has a big tub of cool buttons. My plan is to sew them on the tunic in a random type of pattern. I will see if Momma has a shirt she wants to bling up :-D

Ah you're a more active type, Rob? That's ok. I can sew crazy things on your clothes by surprise

I needed a travel project once and stamped a paint design on a T shirt, then did the beaded fringe. It is a fun shirt whenever I want to wear it.

SO true! And in this case if it doesn't work out at least I have an "everyday" shirt to wear :-)
