GRACE FRAGA: Hi, you're watching Expert Village. I'm your host, Grace Fraga with Arts and Crafts and Everything Fun. And today, we're going to learn how to make a multi-dimensional T-shirt. We have here our expert, Chantelle Tibbs from Wear Me Naked. How are you doing, Chantelle? CHANTELLE TIBBS: I'm doing awesome. How are you doing? GRACE FRAGA: I'm doing great. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Cool. GRACE FRAGA: I am so excited to learn how to make this type of T-shirt where you use different materials and paint and fabrics and all kinds of good stuff to make it a fun T-shirt, a unique, one of a kind T-shirt. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah, well, we're making a three dimensional T-shirt today. There are different ways that you could use a three dimensional T-shirt. There are some people that would attach like, a tie to their T-shirt. Some people might have buttons. Some people might have glitter. Some people might have any kind of way that you could add something extra, extra pieces of fabric, anything like that just to come off 'cause you think, "Okay, we're going to make a T-shirt today." You think, "Okay, we're going to paint on top of a T-shirt." which is the standard way of doing it, nothing wrong with that but sometimes you could think outside the box and you could have a three-dimensional T-shirt. GRACE FRAGA: That's right. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Wear Me Naked's signature three dimensional thing that we do or it's our little trait, is we use a lot of patches. As you can see here, this is a one patch that I used. It says, "Redistribute". This design is called Redistribute. And there is a little patch there and then on the back we chose to put patches as well, it says "Wear Me Naked." So... GRACE FRAGA: Nice. CHANTELLE TIBBS: ...we're going to teach you how to do this. And don't worry, you don't necessarily need to know how to sew or you don't even have to have yours sewn, you can use fiber clip. GRACE FRAGA: Nice. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah. GRACE FRAGA: That's great. Well, I can't wait to get started. So, next, we going to start with the step number one on how to make a multi-dimensional T-shirt.
