If, like me, you downright REFUSE to leave the world of Downton behind, then you will love animator Daisy Edward’s t-shirt designs on Red Bubble. Daisy creates the illustration herself and then through Red Bubble, they become t-shirts for us to wear dreaming of Downton. She also has a hilarious New Girl tee, but my heart belongs with the Granthams and Crawleys.

Jerry Isdale of Maui Makers created this LED strip t-shirt with waterproof LED strips and a programmable microcontroller and then wore it to teach a class in. According to Jerry, “adding other effects (like a beating heart, or other animations) is simple matter of programming.” [via adafruit]

She took a thrift-store T-shirt she liked the shape of, and without taking it apart, traced a complete sewing pattern. If you’ve ever felt intimidated by pattern-making, give this one a […]
I’m absolutely drawn to the hand-drawn look of these shirts from Slow Loris. Created by two artists, Jessica and Arlo, who live on a tiny chunk of land off the Puget Sound by the name of Guemes Island, you can just feel the love that went into these designs. Arlo and Jessica illustrate directly onto […]
Last week we made some super simple and comfy yoga pants from a castoff T-shirt. This week we’re utilizing the same materials because, well, we all know the abundance of T-shirts in this world is somewhat overwhelming, and while we may not be able to wear all the ones we have, we don’t necessarily just want to get rid of them.
