Instructions

The button up shirt was from Wal-Mart. I cut off the original buttons and added the Sci-Fi buttons. I did have to make the button holes slightly longer to accommodate the new buttons.

Difficulty:

Category: Embroidery

Type of item: Clothing

For: Men

Style: Retro / Vintage, Funky, Geeky, Whimsical, Mod


Materials

Black men's button up shirt, Embroidery Floss, Sci-Fi Buttons from reprodepot.com

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be careful when widening button holes. I used a seam ripper and accidentally applied too much pressure to one hole and made it an inch too long. Oops. I had to sew my rip back together afterwords.
