This is a story about making a T Shirt

If you’ve browsed this website, or know me in person, you can probably tell that I cannot sit still. I can’t watch netflix for 6 hours straight. If that makes you happen - then i’m happy for you, it’s just not for me.

My goal here is to be self sufficient and make my own clothing. I got tired of never having the options that I could afford. And the latter part of that statement there is the key part. I don’t wish to pay 100 dollars for a t shirt. So i’ll make one. This idea can be applied to anything thought - growing your own vegetables for example.

It’s not about the physical T shirt though, it’s about the process of making a t shirt. It’s about trying something completely new, a skill that I don’t have (sewing), to learn how to be creative with all this excess time that we have given the global situation. I did some quick calculation - between canceled plans, not commuting to work, not going out physically - we have an extra 24 hours plus each week.

I hope all of you maximize this gift of time we are presented. This is about being better than yesterday. About learning from the previous t shirt and making the next one fit better. it’s about learning from our mistakes made in the past and growing as humans.

Below is the process.
