there is nothing more comfy to wear everyday than a well-worn baggy oxford shirt. but sometimes they can be so boring. embroidery - a way to solve the mundane! could be good for the whole world. oh, and i also like to replace white buttons with any other color that doesn't match.

Lovely. How well do these hold up in the wash? I'd be afraid all that work would unravel after just a couple of wearings.
thanks tonya. i have been embroidering on my clothes (shirts and pants) for about three years. nothing has come apart so far. i add a little fray check to the knots or end of the threads.
on one shirt i didn't like the way a part of the embroidery looked so i clipped all the threads and instead of pulling out the threads i threw the shirt in the wash, hoping the maching would unravel it all for me. after i took the shirt out of the washer and dryer, all of the threads i had clipped were still in place. nothing had come undone!
Love the bicycle image!
