Over Christmas I did a few of these personalised T-shirts with Sharpie fabric markers and they turned out great! So easy to do and perfect for when you need something personalised but haven't had time to shop. Most of these only take about 20 minutes to do and that's with my non-existent drawing skills.
This was for a friend of mine who is getting married soon! The plain cotton tote is from MUJI and I can't remember exactly but I think it only cost about RM4 on average depending on the size. The fabric Sharpies you can get from almost any stationery or craft store. I bought mine from Art Friend and Popular Bookstore. They come in a set of 4 colours and cost about RM17 a set.
You can freehand it or draw (with a regular sharpie) on a piece of paper first. Some T-shirts are too thick for the paper to show through so you'll have to freehand and hope it all turns out OK.

Place the piece of paper and something thick inside the bag and trace. The marker does seep through sometimes so the backing is a must. Lefties will know why I'm tracing upside down.
It's probably best to press the design with a hot iron to "seal" in the ink but there's no indication on the package that you have to.
I don't know how to match colours without making things look tacky so I almost always go with black. I like these markers because the tip is brush like and very fine so its possible to do very detailed drawings like this cartoon ball-and-chain.
