I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who and I love art, and this shirt is the perfect combination of the two. Far less morbid than Vincent van Gogh's painting of the exploding Tardis, this pretty pocket shirt would make a perfect gift for any art critic or Whovian.

What you'll need:

A plain t-shirt
A piece of fabric to paint the pocket detail on
Fabric paint in various colours
Basic sewing equipment
Paint brushes
A ruler

Step 1: Draw Your Pocket Shape and Sketch Basic Design

Start by drawing the shape you want your pocket to be, leaving a 1cm border around it. Don't cut this out yet - it's easier to work on the larger piece of fabric. Sketch out the basic design of the painting using the tailor's pen, marking out any prominent features in the image.

Step 2: Paint Your Pocket

Start by painting the base colours in each section, and allow them to dry before adding detail. Allow each layer of paint to dry before adding a new colour, to ensure the colours don't blend together. Use tiny brush strokes and lines to get the right effect with your paint.

Step 3: Cut and Tack

Cut the excess fabric away, leaving a border of about 1cm around the pocket area. Tack down the top edge of the pocket, hiding the raw edges of the fabric, and sew it down.
