Maurice Moss



It was my husband's birthday recently.

Every year for my husband's birthday I make him a gag tee shirt.
Previous years:
This year was a tribute to his favorite sitcom:
IT Crowd.
It's a British series about nerds we've been watching on Netflix and our favorite character is Maurice Moss:

To make the t-shirt, I first got an image of Moss from google.  In Microsoft Word I posterized it with the basic image tools to make it black and white with high contrast.
Next I printed the image on freezer paper, cut out all the black portions, ironed it on a basic tee, then painted the holes with black fabric paint.
I'm still using freezer paper for my stencils, but if you have a Silhouette or something, it would be even easier.

Happy Birthday!

  2. love it! this might be a good concept to use the next time I make my husband a lunch bag. It's certainly less laborious than the embroidering I usually do on them. It takes forever to embroider when you do it about once every 6 months. lol.
    we have watched some of the It Crowd on netflix too, and enjoyed seeing one of the guys make it into Bridesmaids. My husband could totally rock a spreadsheet lover shirt. I don't understand....but he just loves his spreadsheets.
