I found this "meh" design at urbanthreads.com (this is a great site for embroidery patterns that are good for absolutely everything else) I love this design...the irony. Fantastic. Irregardlessly...I like how this one turned out, I'm sure you can't tell from the picture but it not on the front its more on the bottom left side of the shirt. And I liked the negative space idea, and I got a little bleach happy so there's blotchy spots in other places too. It's a medium men's v-neck plain 'Hanes' shirt, in grey. I also learned how great contact paper works for bleach stencils, because for some reason I can't EVER remember freezer paper while I'm at the store. Contact paper saves me from ironing though. It's a little to light for my liking so I dyed it black after it was done. I haven't taken any pictures of that part yet but when I do I'll be updating this post.
