Grandpa's Raceway

I was trying to think of something to make for the Grandpa's that they would actually enjoy. I found this shirt raceway on Pinterest. Every boy loves cars. Grandpa's love back rubs. Right? Perfect idea.

I liked the idea that I found here but it just wasn't exactly what I was looking for. 

I ended up sketching my own raceway. 

Once I had the basic idea then I drew it onto poster board. First I cut the board to the size that would fit inside the shirt. I then traced the pattern with permanent marker so that I could see it through the shirt. 

Slide the poster board in between the layers of the shirt then trace with fabric paint. I used fabric markers. 

Once you have the track on your shirt you can spruce it up. I went with a raceway theme but you could also try a residential theme. Add a school, stop signs, fire station, houses, parks, etc. 

It was a fun project. I hope that the Grandpa's love it and get lots of back rubs. 

We even found a Delorian car to compliment our gift
