**This workshop will be live-streamed via Zoom.**
Who doesn’t love a good T-shirt? They go with everything from jeans to modern business attire. They come in all colors, with and without graphics. They’ve been donned by James Dean, the Boss, and the entire cast of West Side Story.
The only issue that makes this fashion icon fall short of perfection is … the fit. T-shirts are produced to fit a wide population, most of whom have unique sizing issues. Curvy? Broad chested and narrow waisted? Your new T right out of the package is going to hang awkwardly rather than compliment you. And buying “athletic fit” or “shaped” T’s can be quite expensive. What’s the solution? Custom fit your T-shirt to fit YOUR body.
Join Shannon and Jason as they walk you through the process of customizing a purchased T-shirt to fit your body exactly the way you like it.
