Xavier in zinging Zara shirt, which looks like you could colour it in, post 518

Xavier looked very jolly and handsome. He had had wine. We had had wine. And the effect was definitely enhanced by the wonder shirt. 

We had a very jolly, boozy wine dinner. It's a good thing I didn't have any felt tip pens in my bag. After my fourth wine I already had the urge to start colouring his shirt.

I could not find anything like it online.
I looked on Zara. I did a reverse image search. I tried searching for shirt websites and white shirts and batik.
 I tried the search wording mens white short sleeve shirt and black and white - to no avail. 
Here is one black on white shirt for men on Zara's website.

And another black paint daubs
But my favourite has black palm trees, tropical
All around 70 dollars.
Expensive?
If you are a Zara fan, read all about how they started in Spain.


However, I also found a lot of delightful and almost irresistible shirts elsewhere. 

Light in the box has several with music and guitars. Also black and white vertical stripes, with travel friendly black collars (unless the colours run).

Below are links to some shirts I found.
A Shein t-shirt for women. Only 8 Sing dollars.



DIY Painting Kits For Tee-shirts

I found a tee shirt kit to colour. On Shopee. 39.00 dollars.

A women's shirt on Shein looked like somebody had already tried painting in colours over black outlines.


I kept trying to save the picture onto Pinterest but the save button jumps around as you approach it.

I did not find any shirt with a collar to colour. 

You would have to print your own t-shirt with a colour in design. 

I found some bags for children. 


t shirt painting pack


At only 12.95 pounds sterling,

If you have paints, you can paint your own t-shirt. You nay have to buy a thinner specially for converting acrylic paint into paint for painting fabrics. Instructions on how to set the paint are in Wikihow.

Acrylic paint marketers and pens and paint pots are about 5 to 6 dollars on Amazon.

Just under ten pounds, lots of designs, not just dinosaurs but also pretty items. Around ten pounds plus postage.

I have saved several favourite photos and link on Pinterest.

How to repair a torn Mark & Spencer slip and make the hem wider, Post 294

Image
What is this? My repair.  I have a lovely shiny, smart black slip, from Marks & Spencers. It has a slit with pretty lace edging.  But it is slightly tight. It tore from the top of the slit, diagonally.  I looked for another slip. The ones I found onlin were twice the price and not in a satiny fabric. I wore it torn. I repaired it several times. It tore again.  I gave up. I wore it torn. Nobody sees. My husband saw. He complained. What could I do? It is useless to keep stitching it. It just tears again. I needed a new solution. I thought of adding a godet, a triangle of black fabric. I did not have anything to match. tht doesn't matter a godet is often a contrasting material. But that's when you have several godets and they look deliberate. I hunted in my sewing box. Boxes. All I had was teeny scraps of cloth in unsuitable fabrics. And ribbons. I thought about what I could do with the ribbons. They were not wide enough. But I could sew one each side of the slit. that would m

What to wear for a funeral? A black funeral coat from Marks & Spencers Outfit 291

Angela Lansbury, wearing black for the funeral and funeral tea for Stephen Kennard. Photo by Angela Lansbury. This week I went to a funeral. I wore black.  Everybody else wore all black. The invitation said nothing about the dress code.  I know lots of funerals nowadays people were mixed colours. Some specify wearing jolly colours. My friend at the funeral told me, "Always wer black. Unles it specifies otherwise, the rule is, wear black." I had my usual blue anorak with the hood with me. I left it in the car. In the boot of the car, in case anybody broke into the car hoping to find money in the pockets or because they wanted a coat to wear or sell. The safest thing is to leave a completely empty car. At least everything in the boot so the car looks empty. I could have kept the blue anorak in my black tote bag. As soon as we drove into the chapel driveway, I looked at the other guests and their clothes. I saw all black. Off came my blue anorak. Thank goodness I had a black coa
