Favorite Letters!

I know this thread has been done in the KKΓ forum, but I am becoming obsessed with making letters lol. So I want to see your favorite letters

Or just post all your letters up in here.

My hoodie

Yes... I know "expectation" is spelled wrong, but they are making me and entirely new hoodie!

I love how this sparkles

not posting my letters yet because I'm lazy, but just out of curiosity ...
Did you create all those yourself or was it something your chapter did?

The black shirt and hoodie I went to customgreekthreads.com and picked out my fabric. The other two I just picked the fabric out at a local greek store

Exceeded all my expectttttttations! Hee hee. Very cute letters. I loved getting letter shirts when I was a collegian. Some chapters aren't that into lettered shirts. I'm glad to see they haven't completely gone out of fashion.

Cool! We don't have a greek store here

I only have letters from Emporium and one order we did as a chapter for shirts with "J'adore AOII" on it.

I do enjoy looking at your shirts though

Well... that shirt I got a customgreekthreads.com and the fabric was called "Madison Black Candy Yellow"

I don't have pictures, but a few women in my new member class made their own letter shirts with dinosaur fabric. They're super cute and I think they're so meaningful because they got to make their own first letter shirt.

As for myself, I'm waiting for the perfect fabric to come along at the local Joann's Fabric sale bin...

(I added this to my previous post but decided to use this as a thread bump)

I'm on fall break so I recently got busy making some of my own letters:

The red with lace didn't turn out as neatly as I wanted it to, but sewing with lace is a real pain in the patooty!

I promise I made the navy/Vera Bradley shirt myself. I know that other organizations have similar shirts, so I found the Hope Garden fabric scraps on eBay and whipped it up for myself.

I made these myself using a sewing machine rather than an embroidery machine. They were my first attempts at making my own so they aren't as neat as they could be. I love the peacock fabric though!

txAOII_15 · #12 10-16-2011, 12:09 PM

yall are so crafty! sewing is the one thing i wont touch with a ten foot pole! i love the vera letters though, AXEling! maybe you could sell me one?

Great job! I never made my own so can't even imagine trying. Chalk to first set up to learning and fabric choice! You should sell letter shirts to make some money on the side.

I love peacocks. Those are really cute. Makes me wish I could still run around in letters all the time.

Teehee, making extra money sounds nice, but something tells me the higher ups at VB wouldn't be to thrilled about it...
