D.I.Y #2; homemade off shoulder top

here's the inspiration ;

found the top
from an overseas online shop
that i shall not disclose
*just across our shores*
which cost me about 72 ringgit


for a simple tee like this?
pfft!

items needed:
fabric paint
boyfie tshirt
spray mount
silkscreen



step 1: design, measure the stencil on tshirt and cut it


step 2: spray stencil with spray mount so that the stencil
stays in place, reduce bleeding of fabric paint too


step 3: spray some spraymount on a mounting board
and slip the tshirt inside


step 4: place stencil on the tshirt, followed by
the silkscreen. then put gallops of the fabric dye
on top of the stencil within the silkscreen frame.
use a long strip of mounting board to
spread the fabric dye



step 5: remove silkscreen and stencil gently
and use hairdryer to dry the print



step 6: mark about 1'' to 1 1/2'' from the original hem of collar
of tshirt as a guide to cut

then cut 1'' from the original hem of the
bottom tshirt



step 7: ROCK IT!
