Making a New Shirt for Riley
Today's video is all about creating a special shirt for our beloved Riley. We believe that customizing clothes not only adds a personal touch but also allows for creative expression. So we decided to make Riley a unique shirt using our embroidery machine. Stay tuned to see the whole process unfold!
Choosing the Design and Color
The first step in making Riley's shirt is selecting the design and color. We want to make sure that the shirt reflects Riley's personality and preferences. After some discussion, Riley settles on a cute whale design in teal color. We make a few adjustments to the design, like changing the color of the hearts, to make it even more appealing. Riley is excited about the final design and can't wait to see it on the shirt!
Testing the Embroidery Design
Before stitching the design on Riley's shirt, we always do a test stitch to ensure everything looks perfect. We make sure to use fabric that closely resembles the shirt material, so we can accurately assess the design's appearance. In this video, we also test out another design, a zig-zag stitch embroidery design, which might be added to our website soon.
Preparing the Fabric and Hoop
With the test stitches completed, it's time to prepare the fabric and hoop for Riley's shirt. We use a special solid knit fabric that mimics the quality of a good t-shirt. This fabric, which we bought on sale, allows us to create comfortable and durable shirts. The fabric is carefully cut to fit the hoop, ensuring a precise placement of the design.
Stitching the Design on the Shirt
Now comes the exciting part – stitching the design on Riley's shirt! We attach the hoop to the embroidery machine and upload the design. To make the shirt even more appealing, we choose to use a pink glitter fabric for the inside of the heart design. The machine starts stitching, and we can't help but admire how the colors pop against the fabric.
Final Touches and Adjustments
After the stitching is complete, we make some final touches and adjustments to ensure everything looks impeccable. We remove any excess fabric and tidy up the threads. Riley's shirt is taking shape, and it's turning out to be a lovely piece. One small arrow needs fixing, but overall, we are extremely pleased with the result.
Showcasing the Finished Shirt
Finally, it's time to reveal the finished shirt! We showcase Riley's adorable shirt, with its cute whale design and vibrant colors. Riley joins us in modeling the shirt and looks absolutely adorable in it. We are proud of the customization and the joy it brings to Riley. This shirt will definitely be a cherished piece in her wardrobe.

Article: Making a Custom Shirt for Riley: A Fun and Creative Project
Introduction
Welcome back to our channel! Today, we have an exciting project in store for you. We'll be making a custom shirt for our little darling, Riley. Our goal is not only to create a unique clothing piece for Riley but also to engage with our audience and showcase the process of customizing clothes with an embroidery machine. So, let's jump right into it and create something special for our girl!
Making a New Shirt for Riley
The idea of making a new shirt for Riley sprung from our desire to add a personal touch to her wardrobe. We believe that customized clothes not only look unique and stylish but also hold sentimental value. Riley's excitement for new clothes further motivated us to embark on this project. So, we gathered our supplies and got to work.
Choosing the Design and Color
Involving Riley in the decision-making process was essential to create a shirt that represented her personality and preferences. After some deliberation, Riley settled on a charming whale design. The next step was to choose the color. Riley expressed her love for vibrant colors like red, pink, purple, and blue. However, we explained that the whale design would look best in a single color. Riley agreed to go with a teal-colored whale, which we thought was a fantastic choice.
Testing the Embroidery Design
Before embroidering the design onto the shirt, we decided to do a test stitch. This crucial step allows us to ensure that the design looks flawless and matches our expectations. We used a fabric that closely resembled the shirt material to accurately evaluate the design's appearance. Additionally, we took the opportunity to test another design – a captivating zig-zag stitch pattern – which might be featured on our website soon.
Preparing the Fabric and Hoop
With the test stitches completed, we turned our attention to preparing the fabric and hoop. Choosing the right fabric is essential to achieve both comfort and durability. We opted for a high-quality solid knit fabric, which closely resembles the softness of a good t-shirt. This fabric, readily available at Joann's, provides an excellent base for the embroidery design. We cut it carefully to fit the hoop, ensuring it will sit perfectly on the shirt.
Stitching the Design on the Shirt
Finally, it was time to bring the design to life. We attached the hoop to our embroidery machine and uploaded Riley's chosen whale design. To make the shirt even more captivating, we decided to use a pink glitter fabric for the hearts. As the machine started stitching, we couldn't help but be mesmerized by the vibrant colors against the fabric. Stitch by stitch, the design began adorning the shirt, shaping it into a unique and personalized piece.
Final Touches and Adjustments
Once the embroidery was complete, we made some final touches and adjustments to ensure its impeccable appearance. Removing any excess fabric and tidying up the threads, we ensured that Riley's shirt looked flawless, ready to be worn with pride. Although we noticed a minor flaw – an arrow needing fixing – we were delighted with the overall result. Riley's shirt was truly a sight to behold.
Showcasing the Finished Shirt
With the final touches in place, we were finally ready to reveal the finished shirt. Riley eagerly joined us, wearing her brand new creation. The adorable whale design, embellished with vibrant colors, perfectly complemented Riley's joyful personality. The shirt fit her like a glove and instantly became a cherished item in her wardrobe. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of this project.
