This is the latest " fab" with the 15 ish year olds. You order a men's l/s Haynes cotton t-shirt with pocket from the web site in N.C., then embroidery as large as you can get it on the pocket. We could not find any store to buy from other than the web site. Naturally they are big on the girls but that is the latest style. These are for my granddaughters and their friends. Too, bad they all have to look a like, but I aim to please! Kay

Hum.... hadn't seen this one yet.... Did you embroidery right over the pocket.... closing up the pocket? Or Did you make it so that the pocket can be used? Nice job

Pocket is no longer usable. I don't have a professional machine. This is the way they wanted it. The shirts are so sold out that we are still waiting on the rest of the order. Also the monograms are popular on the lower left front of an over sized t-shirt.

I'm glad she asked that question as I was wondering how hard it was to undo the stitching of the pocket and sew it back up neatly. Neat idea and I love Rivermill's site as they are always reasonable even without a sale.

This is a different idea, one I'd never seen or would have thought of. Looks nice...can't do without a pocket.

I am sure it must have trickled down from the college girls as most fads do. Look on Pintrest and see all of them. Kay

They look great and you have the big curly letters. Have you seen the added pocket in a coordinating fabric with the curly monogram?

Yes, I did those last year. I think they gravitated to this as so many mothers do not own a sewing machine to sew the pocket on so they went on line and bought a t- shirt with a pocket on it and all they could find was a men's t- shirt. Kay

These look so nice. What font did you use, it is perfect.

BTW, I live in NC and I get Hanes T-shirts at Walmart.

I used Apex master circle 4'' and River Mill classic 4''. River Mill is having a 50%off sale now. River Mill is a small site from Tennessee but has some really cute fonts and monograms. Kay

I hadn't known of this either, but then being old, I don't have to keep up with fads. I like the idea though and you did a super job with a beautiful font.

This hit our little college town a year ago. It is now "out" with the college girls, still being worn by the young girls and the grandmas with embroidery machine. I have tried embroidering the lower shirt along with a floral flourish and it turned out quite nicely.

More interesting comments. I love your feed back as I learn from you all. I guess this is trickle down fad after all. I do love your comments. Kay
