DIY Pokemon Tshirt

In the next series of POKEMON MANIA learn to make this Pokemon t-shirt. This has a pocket not just for show but you can even use it. Spices up the plain t-shirt and that too the Pokemon style.

SUPPLIES:

1. Plain t-shirt

2. Fabric

3. Fabric colours

4. Fabric glue

METHOD:

1. Take the fabric and draw a square. This would be the pocket of the t-shirt. The side of the square that I made is 3 cm each. You can make the pocket however big or small but this is the standard size.

2. Once you have drawn the square draw border outside the square leaving about half a a centimetre of space. Mark a centre point on any one side of the square and draw a triangle as shown in the picture below. The extra border will help to glue the pocket to the t-shirt later on.

Cut the pocket carefully.

3. Draw the design of the Pokemon ball onto the t-shirt with the help of a pencil. Refer to a picture if you are not pretty sure how the Pokemon ball looks like, the drawing is pretty easy and does not require any kind of special drawing skills. Draw the lines lightly so that when it is coloured the lines won't appear from beneath the colour.

4. Paint the pocket to the usual Pokemon ball colours which are red,white and black. I also painted white on top of the white fabric to make it look even all over. While using fabric paint DO NOT use water as this will make the paint spread all over the fabric ruining your design. Also wait for the paint to fully dry before doing another coat or painting the other area of the fabric.

5. Cut the corners of the pocket to help them stick well.

6. After the paint is fully dry flip the fabric back side out and iron on top of it to make the paint stick onto the fabric permanently. Read the instructions of the fabric colour that you are using for how much time the paint should be brought into contact with heat to make it last long.
Fold the borders of the pocket and iron that as well.

7. Apply glue onto the top border of the pocket and glue that inside to get a plain and nice surface at the top of the pocket. This will be the opening of the pocket.

6.Use fabric glue to stick the pocket to the t-shirt, only stick the 3 sides using fabric glue. Apply glue only to the borders of the fabric and not the top as it is the opening of the pocket.

There you have it your Pokemon t-shirt.

Style it with jeans,skirts,shorts and it will go with anything.

I paired it with blue jeans,boots and also tucked one side of the t-shirt inside one of the pockets to give it a casual look.

I just love the way this outfit looks simple but stylish and of course that Pokemon pocket makes is stand out.

With this technique of pocket you can revamp t-shirts, shirts or even pants and the possibilities continues.
