i originally found this idea on good ol' pinterest, (the source for 99 percent of my DIY's haha), and although i'm not much of a sewer, i found it suprisingly simple! i think its a super quick + creative way to snazzy-up a plain t-shirt! hope you all enjoy :)

1. find a plain t-shirt + some cool fabric. i went to the thrift store and found a cheap piece of fabric for the pocket but you could definitely just use some fabric scraps! and the t-shirt is a men's shirt from Old Navy.
2. cut out your pocket. try different sizes and see what you like best!
3. pin + sew. using pins, find the perfect placement for the pocket. this step took me a little while but i would recommend trying it on to see where the pocket lays on your body. then it's sewing time! i hand-sewed mine on, but if you are nifty with a sewing machine i would definitely recommend using one! (it saves you many pesky and painful pokes haha)
voila! you got a rad t-shirt :)
much love,

"monday through friday weigh heavy but saturdays and sundays are sweet respite, a burden lifted. on the weekends, hours dangle freedom from their hands like birds on a string. the freedom is sometimes gentle and swaying on the front porch rocker, and other times it's wild and raucous and dancing till dawn."

this supeerrrr simple DIY mug was inspired by the lovely Sincerely, Kinsey. all you need is a plain mug (mine is from ikea - they have a wonderful selection!), bronze or gold glass paint (i used Martha Stewart's paint from Michael's.) and a pencil with an eraser. then just dot your little heart out. bam. you have yourself a personalized mug that is great for gifts (i gave one to my sister for christmas!) or to keep for yourself!
enjoy!
much love,
rach.
