My sister once told me the story of one of her peers — an art school student at the time — who carried a pair of scissors everywhere with the offer 
to refashion a friend or stranger’s outfit anytime, anywhere. At the bar, at the bowling alley, at the school cafeteria, in class… In that spirit, last month I took a visit to the beach in Rhode Island for a friend’s bachelorette party. As you might guess, I also carry my scissors everywhere, and the beach was no exception. Party-goer Sonia insisted that I teach her how to make one-of-a-kind T-shirt designs for her and her young daughter, Bella. We whipped up a pink halter dress (a variation of the Pinup Girl halter top in Generation T: Beyond Fashion) for her toddler plus a ravishing red Back in Action tee (also in Generation T: Beyond Fashion) for her–the perfect cover for her shoulders with a little draft in the back to let the breeze in!
What about you? Where have you taken a Tee Party recently?
