A few months ago I ordered this Glow Gloud T-shirt, one of the first pieces of merchandise available promoting Welcome to Night Vale. A lot of other people love Welcome to Night Vale, and so the shirts were massively oversold for their first printing; as a result, I wasn’t sure when I was going to get my shirt. With a determination born of despondency, I turned to a big box of stuff I had ordered from Adafruit and a pile of fabric, and I said “Okay, I’ll make my own T-shirt. With glowy bits! And I’ll bet I can get it done before this T-shirt everyone else is going to have arrives!”

Four months later (and about three and a half months after the mass-produced T-shirt arrived), I wore my shirt for the first time. Here’s how I made it.
