While I was wandering the halls at CHA in Southern California (more details to come!), there was a surprise Tee Party brewing up north in the Bay Area. It was Jessie’s 12th birthday, and she and six of her pals were quick to dig into a pile of her brother’s old tees (excellent source, by the way), scissors, fabric paints, and copies of Generation T and Generation T: Beyond Fashion (of course) and styled a whole new wardrobe.
They each made a version of Outer Lace (project #16 from Generation T). And, they even choreographed dance moves to stretch out the T-shirt hems into cords!
Fashionably, they used their scrap pieces as headbands, bracelets, and other accessories.
They swapped T-shirt cords so they could each have contrasting color laces down the sides.
And when the birthday girl has an ear-to-ear grin to rival Cookie Monster’s, you know it’s a success!
Want to throw your own Tee Party? Here’s how.
