@MARIELLYY i‘d recommend going onto pinterest or finding a design you like first. then, get some scrap fabric and play around. once you have a design you like, pin it down or lightly glue it down with fabric glue, and start doing a stitch around the outside of the letters. it takes a while, but if you’re patient and make all the stitches small and even, it comes out looking pretty nice!

quail shirt

got it for free at a craft night (they wanted me to turn it into a bag 👎👎👎). best clothing i never bought stg. i would wear this tshirt all the time with skirts and boots and jeans and sandals. it’s my everything. i made the mistake of wearing it to a dogsitting job where one of them jumped up on me and got his claw stuck in one of the holes. he tore it right down the center, and now it is gaping and unsalvageable. my attachment to her has forced me to keep her in my drawer, unwearable and tattered, next to other options that just could never be rocked in the same way.

denim shirt from the goodwill bins

complete with a sparkly zebra and lion. it really only works with this specific outfit too, but it’s just so whimsical and fun that i have to keep it.
