About
The Phantom of The Opera is on my tshirt...
I made this t-shirt to wear when I went to see the stage show (which was fantastic by the way :-)! ). The time I say that it takes to make, really depends on your sewing skills - it took me ages because I'm really slow at hand sewing, but it may take you more or less time.
Hope you like it!

Step 1
Firstly, decide what you want to say on your t-shirt. I was originally going for the whole phrase (The Phantom of the Opera is inside my head...) but after the time it took me to do one word, I decided against it!
-
Step 2Cut out the design in paper and position them on your t-shirt until you are happy with the layout.
-
Step 3Next, iron some backing onto the material and trace the design on to it - making sure that letters are reversed. Then pin onto your t-shirt.
-
Step 4Now for the sewing! Using backstitch, sew around each letter leaving a slight margin in case your fabric is prone to fraying. As my t-shirt was a stretchy material, I found that using an embroidery hoop helped to keep the fabric taunt and easier to sew.
-
Step 5Two and a half hours later...
-
Step 6The rose and mask are next. It's not easy to tell from the photo but I did tiny stitching to outline the petals and leaf veins - it's best to do this before sewing them on to the t-shirt.
-
Step 7Once you've finished sewing, trim off any stray threads or fraying fabric and volia! A t-shirt the Phantom would be proud off!
(Hope that all made sense!)
