Favourite Quotations - Threads

Decorate a t-shirt with your favourite quotation or lyrics.
You can use iron-ons, appliqué, permanent marker, fabric paint, or even use bleach to create the text.
If embroidery, or any kind of stitchery appeals, do a piece of your favourite quotation and frame it for your wall, or create a piece of a friend's favourites and gift them the finished item.
If using bleach:
- Do your work in a well-ventilated area
- Put a glass cutting board, piece of cardboard, or any suitably solid flat item between the layers of the shirt before beginning to work, so the bleach does not mark up both sides of the fabric.
Notes:
- If you use plain paint or markers, or even bleach, you can certainly embroider around the marks you made with threads.
- If you have access to Derwent Inktense (blocks or pencils), they can be used to make permanent marks on any fabric.
