I’ve had this Korn t-shirt for a long time now, and I think it may have been a b-day present from somebody about 5 years ago. I used to wear it all the time, but I’ve grown out of nümetal and have been trying to recon my nümetal shirts into something cute so I’d be more likely to wear them.
I cut the bottom off the shirt, added a blue jersey knit panel to the bottom of it and sewed it to the top. I did a contrasting blue zigzag stitch for the entire shirt and added a zipper on the side since I had a matching zipper lying around.
(bad lighting…bad hair day.. pretty much no makeup… did I mention I’m not a photographer?)
Here’s the front (I cut my head off because it was just sad)
Back — I had thought about doing the blue all the way around, but I liked the way it looked with a plain black back better.
Side (zipper detal) GOOD LORD I’m pasty!
Here’s the original shirt. I wore this the day I met Kasey for the first time! (I’m pretty sure this was the same day). I tried out for Assault Company that day and I dressed “hardcore” for the occasion. Clearly, hardcore=pigtails and a sequin cuff.
I’m planning to post this baby on Etsy soon. I’m planning a photoshoot sometime in July with my friend (aka ex-boyfriend) Matthew, even though Kasey’s not fond of the idea (Kasey doesn’t dislike Matthew because he’s my ex-bf…Kasey just thinks he’s a huge tool). However… Matthew has some pretty awesome fashion photogs and some pretty cool portraits…. so in the end, that wins out over pissing off Kasey. Plus, I’ve always wanted to model, but my height and hip size have kept me out of the running… I do have the chest for it though! haha. AND he’ll do it for free aside from developing film (if he uses a film camera), which is kind of awesome. So… win win situation for me and him both (as long as I look decent in the pictures!).
