About my design
by Royal Sapien   
My friend Allyson and I were cooking and realized what a great help having conversions and measurements printed upside down on our shirts would be. Plus while we\'re designing, a ruler is always across the room when we need to measure something. So we created the Meashirt, so you can keep your hands on your mouse and keyboard, or coconut shavings and measuring cup, or band saw and 2x4 and have an easy reference while you keep doing what you\'re doing.

haha.. I like this idea. more of a functional tool rather than a design/fashion statement. I was about to say that it would be perfect for the "Create Your Own Trend" contest before I realized it is already! It's not the most visually appealing but that's really not the point for this one. I think that if anything, it captures the spirit of the contest perfectly. It's YOUR OWN trend. Awesome.

How about a shirt with some geometry theorys and algebraic forumlai? Is it cheating if the notes are printed on your shirt? What would the teacher do, tell you take it off?

You will need a good chiropractor after you're done reading but I really like the way you think. $5

Squigey, yes a teacher WOULD tell you to take it off because I've seen it happen! Twice! (Those algebra shirts exist and teachers DON'T find it funny. Especially if those teachers are nuns!) All you kids out there, cheating is BAD! This shirt looks useful though. ;)

You'd probably need to lower the design so its easier to hold the tee up and read it, but that's pretty neat

Cool idea !

Put the rulers along the bottom of the shirt
so I can actually use them.

Man I never cook, but that is a really good idea. Just place it a little lower on the shirt for viewing ease

I really like the idea- might suggest moving the placement a little lower, though. Where the text is currently located, the rulers are pretty much useless, aren't they?

AWESOME idea!

twvogels on Jul 10 '06
really like it i agree with helo: maybe put the rulers on the bottom edge so they could be used also like it just the way it is though..........$5

THIS HAS TO PRINT!
i agree with turner - placement may look better on a bottom corner. but keep the rulers -- they do come in handy.

^_^ Yeah, but your link shows a RECIPE. This is a reference that can be used for MANY things. I think it's cool.

Royal Sapien,

Since others have found other upside-down designs,
your submission must be riding the newest trend
wave on Threadless. Way to go, man! ;D

This is a clever shirt. I'd most definitely buy it, esp. now since I'm picking up cooking. Great job! $5

No points or picas?

Surely every designer needs those conversions.

Perhaps not one for the ample chested ladies out there (surely breasts would hamper your ability to convert ounces into grams?). Genius idea though...

I didn't like it until I read your synopsis of it. Very creative... I like it quite a bit. 4 for originality.

Thanks for all the great comments! To address the primary two concerns, I think it would be better lower on the shirt for readability, but I wasn't sure if the odd placement would turn people off the concept. I also placed the rulers vertically instead of horizontally so as not to emphasize someone's waistline. I can hold a piece of paper or block of wood vertically to measure it (I usually have to change its orientation to measure it with a ruler anyway), but I'm not sure I want my bracketed horizontal measurements on display for everyone I see.

This shirt would be as helpful as my Constellations shirt I got at the National Air and Space Museum 15 years ago. It was a glow in the dark shirt with the image of the constellations flipped so I could read it, like this measurement conversation shirt. Awesome idea. Now that I cook a lot; it would come in handy.

what i really need is the weight/volume conversions: 5oz white flour equals 1cup, that kind of thing....
