I feel like I’m regressing. Suddenly interested in character tees (perhaps fueled by my recent trip to Disneyland in early August), this (Topshop I think?) sweatshirt caught my eye while scrolling through all the pretty goodies on Fashiolista. (Follow me there! I have neat unique finds from Japanese shopping sites in my profile too!!)
But back to this shirt: totally DIY’able…just choose your favorite character’s face (Sailor Moon!)…or celeb’s photo (Marilyn Monroe!)…or random image (a flying seagull!)…which you can convert to squares by eyeballing it. Or super-accurately using Photoshop. Or try the online version of The Pixelator and download your creation for reference. Then apply the cut fabric squares using the Heat-n-Bond applique technique I shared here. (Or even trace your image onto your shirt and color in with Fabric Paint!)
However you do it, I think it would be pretty cool…and a great way to use up scrap fabrics!
Happy DIY’ing!
