DIY Vintage Biker Tee

Meet Sean, our favorite stagehand at Caesar’s Palace in the Colosseum. He operates our mobilator every night that drives us on stage for the Shania Twain show. Over the past two years I’ve seen Sean wear about 50 different Harley Davidson tees with hot chicks and I’ve envied every single one. Brunettes, blondes, redheads, twins, he has ’em all. A few months back I cam across the perfect tee at the flea market to pay homage to my favorite biker style icon. With an entire entourage of amazingly talented wardrobe stylists for our show, there was no better place to learn how to create a perfect vintage tee.

This must have been an XXL or XXXL tee when I found it on the rack. But with a logo like this there was no way I was passing this up. Nothing says “Full Moon Rider” like a pair of ass-less chaps.

Either style of fabric marker is great for marking. You can literally rub it off after you’ve made the cut.

This circular fabric cutter is a million times easier than cutting with scissors.

Start by cutting the bottom. Remember that fabric without a seam will curl slightly so aim a little longer than what you think.

Then the sleeves…

And finally the neck.

Try it on again for fit to double check the sides and how far they should come in.

This was literally the first time I’ve operated a sewing machine since Home Ec in the 7th grade. A few practice runs and I was back on the horse.

What’s awesome about this machine in particular is that it cuts the fabric and makes a seam for you at the same time. Brilliant!

Redheads are obviously my favorite:)

Thanks, Sean, for being my style inspiration, and of course of the fabulous ladies in wardrobe that helped me design and make my new favorite vintage tee!

    Muscle tees are a staple in my closet, however I only have 3 that are on rotation because it’s been hard to find ones in my size. I love this DIY and for the inspiration to just tailor ones that are too big.

It’s been a while since I introduced myself. Hi! It’s been a while since I introduced myself. Hi! I’m Andrea Whitt, musician, artist, stylist and model. 
I get asked often about my pedal steel playing and thought I’d share a little of my musical journey.

My first instrument was guitar when I was 8. I was given an acoustic guitar for Christmas and by April I had taught myself a handful of songs that I had my friends sing along with me at my 9th birthday. That year I started playing viola, and went on to get my masters degree at University of Cincinnati CCM in viola performance. I was getting so tired of playing the same classical rep that I joined the jazz department. 
I moved to LA after college, and as a surprise to myself was able to support myself doing music full time. Except a gig as a spray tan artist, but that’s another story 🤣 A huge part of my musical career has been teaching private lessons, group classes and conducting youth orchestras. 

I played in rock bands, orchestras, did sessions, random gigs (many shitty ones) until I landed the gig with Shania Twain. I was hired as a violist and fiddle player. I purchased my first violin for this gig and went to local bluegrass jams to learn fiddle styles, definitely fell on my face every time. It was when I was in Shania’s band that I saw a pedal steel for the first time. I was obsessed. I immediately ordered one off of eBay and had it sent to my hotel room in Vegas. Being a Grateful Dead fan I decided the priority was to learn all of the iconic Jerry Garcia pedal steel solos. Note for note, I taught myself steel with all of Jerry’s signature licks.

Shortly after the Shania gig, I got hired to play in Zucchero’s band. A three year world tour to 48 countries. Even though I had only been playing steel for 3 years I got to perform on steel on a handful of songs every show. When you’re sitting at a new instrument in front of 20,000 people you learn fast!

Now pedal steel is just as much a part of my career as viola and fiddle. Thank you for supporting my journey, many of you have been following since my first steel post. I have lots of new announcements coming soon, thanks for joining me on this long strange trip!
