 It's hard to find good quirky stuff to buy for guys, so why not make your own. Get an old or second hand T-shirt and revamp it into a quirky one off. 

Quirky Recycled old T-Shirt...Lets see how its done 

Take an old plain T-shirt, some scrap fabric with a bright print you like... 

...and a scrap piece of leather or other  plain fabric 

Turn the T-shirt inside out.
 Fold the fabric you will be adding to the top of the T-shirt in half.
Place over the top half of the inside out T-shirt with the fold in the centre.
Cut the fabric following the edge of the T-shirt seams around
the sleeves and neckline.
Leave at least half a centimetre extra when cutting so you can
fold this under when stitching.

Open out the cut fabric and check how it fits to the top of the T-shirt.

Fold the edges under and align with the neck and sleeve seams of the
T-shirt that is now the right way round. Pin in place and topstitch. 

Stitch on your pocket...you can put on a simple pocket shape,
or play around like I have here and make the pocket into a funky shape...
like this fox.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

HAPPY SEWING!
