For this instructables you will need:
Fabric pens (colours of your choice)
Old T-shirts
Cardboard
Pegs / bobbie pins / paperclips
Lets get started!!!!!!!
First Things First

Get your cardboard and place inside the T-shirt secure with pegs or the other things I mention make sure it is tight at the front. This will make it easier to draw on or you won't get the best results.
Example:
My 'Summer Time' design went a bit funny as I didn't clip the cardboard at all.

For my designs I chose to do 1 worded one 2 picture ones and 1 with words and pictures on it.
My designs are 'Summer Time' written in calligraphy, a ice-cream, a cookie and 'Beach Day' with a picture of a bucket and spade.
Make sure to draw out your designs first on paper to achieve the best results.
Make It a Reality
