Skeleton Tutorial Feedback!

Today I'm posting documentation of a shirt made with the Skeleton Skirt tutorial! My friend and fellow printmaker, Casey, used the tutorial to make a variation of her own. Here it is:

Casey hand-printed the design on the front at the Inkahoots! event earlier this May.

I love the back on this one! I've used this method a few times, but never made the slits so small. Casey tells me that her roommate has made a Skeleton Shirt as well, so expect to see pictures of Annie's shirt soon!

Underwear Tutorial by SuperNaturale

I've seen this tutorial posted in many different places, but I love it so much that I had to share! This tutorial by SuperNaturale allows readers to take their unused t-shirts and make them into something far more practical - underwear. On the right side column there is a downloadable .pdf pattern for both underwear and boxers!

Here's what you'll need:
-a t-shirt
-thin elastic cord (48" or enough to go around both legs & your waist)
-6"x4" of clean fabric, a thin cotton knit (optional)
-sewing machine, thread, scissors, etc.
-a big piece of paper (2' x 4' -ish) or enlarged pattern printout.
