FUN TEE ♥

Hey guys! Let me share you what I did yesterday....SHOPPING! Yes, I was looking for shirts inside a department store at the mall, then I saw these shirts from the brand "Fun Tee" and I was left in aw how awesome their shirts were, and they were 10% off, so I stole 3 shirts, just kidding, I bought them! :D



This is the first shirt I bought, a MEME-BASED shirt. I loved the "Me Gusta" meme. It was originally 129 pesos (almost $4), but it was 10% off :D




The second shirt was a "MUSTACHE" inspired shirt. I loved how it has the different styles of mustaches of the world :D



This last shirt is my favorite, it is a "THE HUNGER GAMES" based shirt.

Exams are coming so I'll be gone for a week or two, gonna cram up and study what is needed to be studied.  Have a great week guys! :D

DIY: Scallop Shorts

I have these old pair of white shorts that was barely used, and I've also seen a lot of scallop shorts lately, I've been meaning to buy one, but I thought, hey, I could make one!

(BEFORE: LOUSY WHITE SHORTS)

Tools/Materials:
*A pair of shorts
*Scissors
*Pen and Cardboard for making the scallop pattern

Because the shorts were naturally cuffed, I cut the thread connecting the cuff. As you can see in the first  picture of this post, I already removed the cuff.



STEP 1:
Using the cardboard, pen, and scissor, make a scallop pattern. It depends on you on how big or how small the scallop should be.

STEP 2:
Trace the scallop pattern on the shorts.


STEP 3:
Using a zigzag stitch, sew the outline of the stitch and then cut the rest, leaving only the scallops.


VOILA! Scallop shorts :D I'd have to say, it turned out better than what I expected :D




Have a great day guys! :)

DIY American Flag Shorts


I just adore flag shorts, I've been meaning to buy one, but I guess it's not very popular here in the Philippines, so why not make a pair?
 So let's get started!

Tools/Materials:
*A pair of shorts (preferably denim)
*White and Red fabric paint
*A paintbrush or sponge
*Tape
*Scissors
*Star Pattern


This is how it looks like before the process of painting it.

STEP 1:
Tape the areas where you don't want to get the paint on.

STEP 2:
Start painting the red and white stripes. I did another coat for the red stripes cause it kept getting transparent on the dark denim.

STEP 3:
Now paint the stars using your paintbrush and white fabric paint. Here's a TIP: When painting the stars, make sure that the tape is aligned diagonally, so the stars will also be aligned like that. (e.g. stars-space-stars-space)

STEP 4: (OPTIONAL)
Add studs!



Now you can wear these and show it of to your friends!
