T-shirt Customizing!

T-shirt Customizing!
 Re-use you're old t-shirts to create one of a kind designer tees!
Let you're inner designer out!

I have over the years accumulated a large number of t-shirts, many of which are too small for me now. I feel that it's a waste to throw away perfectly good t-shirts and so i try to come up with ways of using outgrown ones. Most of my t-shirts end as rags in my workshop, pitylessly tossed to the floor and used till the last threads of life are sucked out of them... That was until i had this idea!

These days designer shirts with cool prints on them tend to go for a pretty penny.
I decided to create my own.

 Old t-shirts. Preferably in relatively good condition with cool prints on them.
                       You can use your own, or buy cheap ones at a second hand store or garage sale.

A sewing machine. This is not obligatory but it helps a lot on time saving.
                                    For you who don't have one sewing by hand is a skill (if you don't already                                               know) should learn.

Other things you should know:
Time- between 10 minutes and 3 hours (depending on how creative you decide to get)
Difficulty- fairly easy
Fun factor/creativity level- Heaps of it!

It's kinda cool bro. You're really only doing what punk rockers have done for ages. Keep it up though, I've always wanted to make a t-shirt made entirely (every square inch, even the armpits) of other t-shirts.
