DIFFICULTY - BEGINNER

Where to get nice fitting white t-shirts? I like Uniqlo and these cheap cotton Jockey t shirts from SNR which only cost about P200+. Tip: get one size bigger.

STEP 1 - Think of a slogan/statement. Could be anything. Just remember, longer and larger takes up more time. I choose lyrics from one of my favorite songs by The Smiths. Here's some suggestions:

• Add instant class with monograms. Your initials. or you're S.O.'s
• Favorite movie/line from a movie/lyrics
• Political statement
• Single words like: nope, chic, meow...I also like hello, my name is... and donut talk to me. haha
• or you can even do simple shapes like hearts, stars an arrow, etc!

STEP 2 - Pencil it in

STEP 3 - Fit your shirt to double check size and placement. Adjust til you're satisfied.

STEP 4 - Time to sew! You can use whatever stitch you're comfortable with. I suggest backstitch or running stitch depending on the final look you want to achieve.

SEWING TIPS

• don't pull too tight, it might cause fabric to pucker.
• stretch fabric a bit along the way.
• maybe you can use an embroidery ring to make things easier
• maybe you can also put some paper behind the cloth that you can tear away after you're done sewing.
