Something for those of us who can't vote in the upcoming election.

I made this shirt because I think it's silly how few eligible voters in the US actually vote. If I could (I'm too young) I would SO take advantage of my right!
A few notes: I used a sewing machine which was faster and made the letters more secure, BUT, by all means if you are sewing-machine-less, don't let that stop you!
Also, this tut could be used for any message you want, not just VOTE.

Instructions


  1. Step 1 1

    Gather your supplies.
    I used an old fitted t with a few minor stains, so I didn't wear it much any more.
    The white fabric was from a huge old t with a terrible design on the front.

  2. Step 2 2

    Hahaha bad picture.....
    BUT, what you should do is draw your letters out onto scrap paper and cut them out.

  3. Step 3 3

    Now place the paper letters onto your scrap fabric and trace around them.
    Cut 'em out.

  4. Step 4 4

    Now, for the O.
    I support Obama so I wanted to have his "logo" in my O.
    If you don't wanna put it in, just skip the step, or put your own thing in.
    I sorta cheated by using Sharpies instead of proper fabric paint.
    My cat supports Obama too.

  5. Step 5 5

    Next, pin the letters onto the good t and make sure they're in the right places.
    I used contrasting thread on my sewing machine. It was quite tricky to sew around the letters perfectly because you don't have too much control, but the wrinkles give it a vintage-y look that I like.
    Hand sewing would be slower, but much more precise.
    <---And, here's the finished product!
