So I tried out the Pinch n Pin tech from Threadbanger's episode Thread Heads: Size Matters. One problem when shopping at the local thrift store is that many of the shirts i get are too big. This also applies to getting the inevitable baggy shirt from my relatives for Christmas (oh sorry, not PC -_- "Winter Vacation").

So I decided to try out the "pinch n pin" with a 2XL ribbed teal shirt from Claiborn I bought for 2 dollars. At first it was very baggy (I'm a strange size between medium and large) but after half a hour it fit like a glove.

This is BTW all by hand O_o my sewing machine broke (one of those cheap ass $20 ones at GASP Target)

So now I'm looking for a neat stencil to spray on it. haha Thanks again Threadbanger!:D

I would imaging that would be a little more complicated. I'm going to use the tech on my painting dress shirt(go figure) cuz I could probably make a circus tent out of it. Thanks again guys!!!:D
