Mr.Smee shirt

[mort1331]

Heading down in 2 weeks, cant find any shirt, large width light blue and white shirt for the MNSSHP. Any ideas?

Go the DIY route -- white t-shirt, painters tape, and fabric paint. OR since you'll prolly never wear it again, a can of baby blue spray paint ...be sure to put a piece of plastic wrapped cardboard inside the shirt before you go this route or all your taping on the back will be for naught

OR some ultra wide blue ribbon, some iron-on fabric hemming tape and your iron!

Yes the Duck not only hunts Airmiles but crafts as well

Do you have a Michaels store near you. I would suggest heading there and asking someone what kind of fabric paint they have. Buy a plain white t-shirt. Use painters tape to tape off your stripes and paint. You could search forever in stores to find what you're looking for. Tap into the creative side you have in you and go for it.

You beat me to it Donald. Great minds think alike

I think I'd take a look around some second hand shops ---Goodwill,etc

If your going to paint the stripes, go for the fabric spray paint and painters tape. Its much faster.

Mort, we need an update. How is the shirt coming along?

Lol remember I am a man, time on these things take time. I did buy the supplies today, couldnt get light blue spray, but that will be ok.

Costume is ready, thanks for all the help. Found a nice set of wire rim glasses at value village, using my daughters hat when she was 3, but I dont think Ican do sandels all day, might try though.
I will try for pics when we return next wed.
