sequin relief t-shirt (with dinosaurs!)

 

Rrrrraaaarrr...dinosaurs!
 

By combining thrift-store clothing bargains with computer printouts you can easily create your own unique t-shirt design. I chose a standard grey tee as the base and a sequin womens top for the relief.
My relief design is a pair of my favourite dinosaurs.

Sequin. Dinosaurs.
Glamoursaurus!



Enough talk, time to make.

Step 1 Tools & materials

This project is easy to create and customize. Maybe you have something in your closet right now that might work!

Here's what you're going to need:

• t-shirt (or other base, such as cloth bag, jeans, rug, etc.)
• donor fabric, the crazier the better
• computer printout, your choice
• marker
• sewing machine (yes, really)
• scissors
• goggles

The toughest item on this list will be deciding on a donor fabric. From my experience anything with texture woks the best, be creative. I have chosen sequin because of a themed party I attended, but this can easily be substituted for corduroy, flannel or burlap.

The goggles are on this list for a reason, use 'em.

Unfortunately I just missed this years' submission deadline for the Palaeontologists Encyclopaedia. Hopefully I get included next year, the scientific community doesn't know what they are missing!
