What’s more retro than bowling?! If only every bowling experience was like the super cheesy but fun bowling scene from Grease 2, dancing in bright bowling shirts and getting a strike every time…the reality for me is gutter ball central. But it’s fun all the same! I was gifted my own bowling ball and shoes a few years back by my husband, along with his mother’s old bowling bag. Matching accessories, he knows me so well! Haha. It’s been awhile since I broke them out, but once I found out we were having a sushi and bowling outing with friends, I knew I needed to dust them off and give them a spin (or a roll)!
This was also the perfect time for my bowling shirt DIY, the perfect retro addition to my bowling ensemble. Combining my dorky love of cats and retro, I designed this graphic for the back of my bowling shirt, thanks to some free vectors from The Noun Project (Bowling Pin, Cat 1, Cat 2). I used heat transfer vinyl and my handy Silhouette cutting machine, and voila, custom bowling shirt! I purchased this red bowling shirt for $33.19, but using a regular collared button up would be just as cute.
