Details
1. Start with the Right Base
Not all fabrics play nice with paint, bleach, or patches. The Classic T-Shirt is made from 100% ring-spun cotton - pre-shrunk and relaxed fit - which means it's a dream for most DIY projects. The cotton holds dye evenly and doesn't warp after washing. If you want something with a bit more structure (say, for embroidery), try the Sierra and Rhia English Premium Hoodie ($49.99) with its heavier fabric. Or for a lightweight option, the Sierra and Rhia English Tank Top ($19.99) works great for tie-dye.
2. Embroider Your Favorite Moment
Sierra and Rhia English have countless memorable quotes and inside jokes from their videos. Grab a needle and thread (or use a machine) to stitch a line from your favorite episode onto the collar or sleeve of the Sierra and Rhia English Polo Shirt ($34.99). Want a more subtle look? Stick to single-color embroidery on the Classic T-Shirt. It's durable and won't fade after repeated washes.
3. Patch It Up
Iron-on patches are perfect for fans who want to rep smaller creators or inside jokes alongside Sierra and Rhia English branding. Place a patch over the pocket area of the Classic T-Shirt or on the back panel of the Premium Hoodie. The pre-shrunk cotton means the fabric won't pucker, and you can remove patches later if you change your mind. Many fans share their patch collections on TikTok - and Sierra and Rhia English often repost custom designs on their Instagram stories!
4. Tie-Dye or Ice Dye
Summer 2026 is prime time for tie-dye. The 100% ring-spun cotton in the Classic T-Shirt absorbs dye like a sponge. For a galaxy effect, use ice dye: place a shirt on a rack, cover with ice, and sprinkle powder dye on top. Let it melt overnight. The result? A one-of-a-kind gradient that screams fun. If you mess up, no worries - the tank top ($19.99) is cheap enough to be your test subject.
5. Distressing for a Vintage Vibe
Want that worn-in, grungy look? Grab some sandpaper or a cheese grater and go to town on the edges and collar. The durable cotton holds up to distressing without falling apart. Just avoid the printed logo area. For an extra touch, add safety pins or fabric paint. This look pairs perfectly with the relaxed unisex fit of the Classic T-Shirt.
Safety & Care Tips
- Always pre-wash your merch before customizing - sizing shrinks the fabric just a bit.
- Use fabric paint or markers specifically designed for cotton.
- After customizing, turn the garment inside out and wash cold to preserve your work.

FAQ
Can I bleach the Classic T-Shirt without ruining it?
Yes! The 100% ring-spun cotton is bleach-safe if you dilute 1 part bleach to 3 parts water. Spot treat or do a full dip-dye for a reverse tie-dye look. Just don't leave it too long - check every 5 minutes until you like the color.Will embroidery damage the fabric?
Not if you use a stabilizer. For the Classic T-Shirt, place a hoop and a tear-away stabilizer underneath to prevent puckering. The relaxed fit gives you plenty of room to work.How do I remove an iron-on patch later?
Reheat the patch with an iron and peel it off gently. Any residue can be removed with rubbing alcohol. The cotton fabric won't leave a sticky ghost.Can I customize the Polo Shirt the same way?
The Polo ($34.99) has a more structured collar and barrel cuffs. Embroidery and patches work fine, but avoid heavy distressing (the fabric is a bit finer). Stick to subtle personalization like a small monogram on the chest.Where can I share my custom design?
