DDOOCFS: Yes We Can T-Shirt
We’ve seen a lot (A LOT!) of “Yes We Can” T-shirts. But none quite like this one from etsy seller stijkycorps.
This fun T-shirt is hand screen printed and comes in sizes and styles for the entire family–men’s, women’s, children’s and even baby onesies. Because we all can.
(As will all of the crafts we feature here, the seller is donating a portion of the proceeds from this item to the Obama-Biden Campaign for Change.)

Freezer Paper Stencil T-Shirt (A Special Retirement Gift)
Rebecca, from Tuscon, Arizona, wrote to us about the T-shirt she embellished for her husband:
I’m not much of a crafter, but I wanted to makeover one of my husband’s good but dingy t-shirts to look like a jersey with name (Obama) and number (08) printed on the back (jerseys are supposed to be dingy, right?). He looks like an athlete when he wears it. I look like a soccer mom (with my Palin bangs, Tina Fey glasses, and PTA card). I was able to give the shirt to the hubster for his retirement after 20 years of military service including 14 excruciatingly long months in a row in Iraq.

Obamafied Dress
This dress from Eastern Carolina University student and Craftster member ejk0501 is probably the most high fashion piece we’ve seen anyone create thusfar… She used a T-shirt that was given out around her college to create a one-of-a-kind dress using purple tulle and yellow jersey to celebrate both school pride and the Obama campaign. You can check out the back of the dress over on this Craftster thread.

Barack Rocks Toddler Tee
Craftster member thankyoulocust made this edgy (and completely recycled!) T-shirt for her toddler niece, who’s mom is a huge Obama supporter. Here’s how she made it:
The shirt was an old leotard of my daughter’s. I just hacked off the sleeves and the bottom and did the safety pin business. Then I made all the patches from pieces of another shirt and stencils I made and some fabric markers. The background strips are from yet another shirt.
Pretty cool… She’s given us a whole slew of new ideas for crafting up our own DIY campaign shirts. You can see more pictures of the details of her T-shirt over here.

Sorta Daily Dose of Obama Crafts for Sale: Eco Stitch
Not only do we love Olympia, Washington-based Eco Stitch/Etsy Seller Talcott‘s interesting work combining hand printing and fabric applique on T-shirts and onesies, her message—originally posted on her blog—about crafting for Obama really touched us:
Due to limited income I had to get creative in order to support the campaign for presidency of Barack Obama. I decided to make tshirts to sell and then donate a portion of the proceeds to his campaign. So far the tshirts have generated over $100 in donations to the campaign—for which I am very pleased and proud. Of course, many of the t-shirts have also been donated to fund-raising events.
We know that many, many of you share her sentiment and we hope you join us in applauding her (and many others’) effort to support the campaign during these tough economic times. You can also further support her efforts to raise funds for the Obama campaign by purchasing one of her items from the Obama for President section of her Etsy shop.
