T shirt design

G'day Kitty

Another suggestion and one I've used a few times is to insert a strip of
fabric (can be the same if available, or coordinating to add interest)
that runs up the side and down the sleeve. I had a few Tshirts that
were too small this worked out OK as you can taper the strip at the
sleeve ends or leave them wide, depending where you need extra fullness.
I've even used ribbing in the same colour and that looks OK too.

Hope this helps?

Pat suggested putting the design onto a larger T-shirt, but you
mentioned you aren't crazy about those. So how about using her
technique to put it onto a shirt you do like that's the same color?
Either a pullover or a "camp shirt" style.

I've seen RTW camp shirts with design blocks stitched all over them
(one on each sleeve, front torso, collar, big, little, straight on and
skewed).

Depends on the size of uncle's design, of course. If it's huge, you
could put it on the back like a bowling team, and add interesting
motifs on the rest of the shirt.

A gal on my flyball team was given a "World's Best Grandma" t-shirt by
her son to announce that he and his wife were going to FINALLY be
parents. He was so thrilled and so excited and kept reminding her to
wear her Grandma shirt when he came in town for a vacation. She didn't
have the heart to tell him that the very nicely embroidered shirt was
far too small.

I took the shirt and split it up the sides, opening the body and
sleeves, and spliced in a three inch wide "racing stripe" of contrast
rib knit on each side to give her the extra width she needed. I
re-hemmed the sleeves to a shorter, more angled (and more flattering)
length, and raised the hem of the body as well - she's not only round,
but short as well.

She and I were both pleased with the effect, and her son simply beams
every time she wears it.
