We've seen a lot of custom T-shirt projects, but none that allow kids to customize their shirts on a daily basis. This shirt's clear plastic pocket lets kids display their obsession du jour.
Materials
- T-shirt
- Clear plastic trading card page (available at hobby or office supply stores)
- Scissors
- Masking tape
- Embroidery needle
- Embroidery floss
- Flattish object to place in pocket, such as a photo, iron-on appliqué, artificial flower, etc.
Instructions
- Cut 1 pocket from the center of a trading card page, leaving a 1/4-inch margin around the seams.
- Secure the pocket's top and bottom in place with masking tape.
- Thread the needle with the floss, knot the end, and use a simple whipstitch to attach one side of the pocket to the shirt. Remove the bottom tape and continue stitching, leaving the top open.
- Remove the remaining tape. Place an object in the pocket.
Tips:
When drying the T-shirt, always hang-dry to protect the plastic pocket.
