SO I had this awesome idea for a t-shirt, and started making it today.  It's based on  '<3'  which i usually say as less than three "I less than three that!".  Yes I know, I dont do normal well.  I also had to explain less than three and <3 to people today, (which I thought everyone knew?! geekier than I thought? )  here is the semi finished article:



I'm pretty pleased with how the letters and spacing and stuff turned out ( more geekery - I used GIMP to get them to follow a heart shape and printed it out to use as a template) though i didnt get finished sewing the letters on before my mums minon came back off her break to claim the sewing machine.   

I'm not sure about the border heart thing so much, though maybe it just needs to be thicker? (thats in a fabric pen which "should" wash out)

I'm also probably going to taper it , and maybe do something with the neckline type area thing to make it more ..um femme. either make it round and scooped (i think thats the right descriction, youd think I'd know) or just make it open more / further down .. suggestions?

This is a really cool design. And, it almost seems like a band name. A band with more than 4 musicians, of course, but that's a different story.
