d.i.y. t-shirt (video)



hello to all of the beautiful people! try not to be shocked at the hour of my posting. i usually post anywhere from 1-3 am but had technical difficulties.

so i decided to shoot a quick (12 minute) video on a t-shirt diy yesterday as some of you had asked for it. so i set the camera up and shot it all in one take! yes i am so proud. well husband comes home and has to make it fancy. i knew this would happen. this is one of the many things he does for a living, so he tends to be a bit of a perfectionist. so what became a quick post became the 8 hour long process. the funny thing is, i only let him do the intro and a few quick cuts where i was rambling too much. he would have gone completely haywire if i let him. so anyway here it is in all its glory. thanks to my husband for making it somewhat watchable. let me know if you peeps would like me to do more of these in the future. i was planning on doing more videos but just not of this nature. love.

p.s. if you want to know how to do the stencil as well let me know. i had to keep the video short, but i can do a separate one with that if you would like. love!

also let me know how you are doing on your tees for the giveaway with nyds. can't wait!

  2. Hey, cool video! I love the DIY tee. It would be great to see the deal w/ the stencil. I always mess those up somehow. I guess they aren't as easy as they look. Anyway, it's nice to put a voice to the face.

  15. You are the absolute sweetest! I really loved this. I get so frustrated when I have to spend massive amounts of time on diys and I've also got piles of stuff I've made but never worn!

    This looks so simple and the end result is great. If I can find a decent t-shirt material I am going to give this one a go!

    As always, I love your posts to pieces. [=

  20. Hilarious, funny part?

    I would totally have been your husband in this situation. I am nuts for things being JUST. RIGHT. this has lead to people giving me the nikckname 'perfection Nazi' considering I am black, I don't know how I feel about this. I don't think Hitler would approve either.

    That said Nice job the both of you!!!!
