When I first saw those t-shirts on B.A.P members on their „1st Baby Day”, I knew I want and must have one of them.

For few months I was checking the internet, hoping that someday I’ll find them for sale. It didn’t really matter to me whether they were original or fanmade, I just really wanted one for myself XD So finally I decided to give a try to my manual ability and make one for myself :D
Zelo is my bias that’s why I choose Totomato besides, I think he’s easiest one to make XD.
I bought sketch pad with thicker sheets of paper and drew matoki on it:
Used only pencil but then I outlined it with fineliner, and marked space that will be made in black:
After that I cut whole matoki out added measurements…just in case XD;:
Few days later I got my shirt and I could finally do something more __^__;;
I bought myself white, 100% cotton, t-shirt. I wanted to find a kind of shirt that boys were wearing but I failed OTL so I decided to buy this one, cause it was the closest to what I wanted to get.
My first thought was to stick Toto to front of the shirt and then draw him, that’s why I cut him out. But seeing that the fabric of the shirt is rather thin, I could just stick it to underside and draw on the shirt. I stick matoki back to the piece of paper cause I didn’t want back of the shirt to get dirty. After that I draw him on the front of t-shirt:
To draw on the fabric, I bought myself an oil paint marker. Of course there are paints and markers, especially made to draw on fabric but it was not in the store, and I didn’t feel like ordering it in the internet XD So I just used this one:
Once drawing on the shirt was done, I decided to embroider outlines with those tiny, black beads:
It looked like this:
Not masterpiece, but it’s the first time I’m doing this so forgive me XD I hope that it’ll get better with time :)
If it comes to threads, I decided to use stronger, cotton threads (in Poland known as mulina. It’s used for example in embroidering):
It was too thick though, so I had to split one thread into few thin ones:
So after 5 days (3-4 hours a day) of work I got this:
And at this point I run out of beads (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
What was worse…I couldn’t buy them in the store cause they had no more left I bought everything they had lol, and since I live in small town there was no more places to go OTL I decied to risk, and ordered a package in internet.
While waiting for beads I decided to do the rest of work, which meant adding blue sequins on Toto’s mask and black ones to the parts I marked in the beginning. It took me 4 days to complete all of those parts:
Now when I look at it, I think I should make the black part on his feet a little smaller…oh well~ XD
And today I got beads and could finish my work :D They are a little bit smaller but you can barely see the difference from the distance xD Soooo…here it is, all finished:
This is how my new shirt looks on me ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌
Totally worth all the work, and maybe someday I'll make another one :D Shishimato this time :P
