Allison Rose’s Obama-n-Words T-shirt is one of the most unique designs we’ve seen. She has taken excerpts from Senator Obama’s DNC acceptance speech, along with other notable quotes, and created a unique piece of artwork on an organic cotton T-shirt. And it’s available in both men’s and women’s fit versions! She gives us a step-by-step of the screen printing process for this shirt at this blog post.

And, as with all items for sale we feature here, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this shirt is being donated to the Obama campaign.

Yes We Can!

In Austin, Texas last week crafters got together to screen print and raise money for the Obama-Biden campaign. In exchange for a $10 donation, you could have anything—from a T-shirt to a car sun shade screen printed. These are Rachel‘s photos from the event.

For you Portland peeps… Send us an email at sewersewist@gmail.com or comment on this post if this is something you’d be interesting in attending. We’re looking at Saturday, October 11… We’ll gauge interest and, if enough people are game, we’ll organize one here! Let us know ASAP.

Yes We Can!

Josh created this hand screen printed sweatshirt for his dad, a train enthusiast and Obama fan. You can check out a few more pictures over here… (Yeah, that’s our other blog.) Download Barack Obama’s transportation plan right here—including information about strengthening Amtrak and providing high speed freight and passenger trains by clicking this link. And, of course, Joe Biden is known for taking Amtrak each and every day between Wilmington and D.C. We suppose that Joe would probably approve of both this message and this sweatshirt.

Yes We Can!

Rachel (from Austin, Texas) doesn’t know this, but seeing her wonderful screen print (using a hand-cut stencil, rather than photo emulsion) this spring was this first time we thought, “Wish someone would record all the wonderful, creative craft stuff people are making…” Many months later, and a number of projects of her own—and lots of great ones made by others, The Obama Craft Project was born.

We had the chance to see Rachel’s Obama print in person this summer, after she’d begun embroidering it in red and blue, adding “Yes we can!”
