Bobbles on my favourite T shirt

I have a beautiful lilac floral T shirt with three quater length sleeves that i love. It is warm on chilly days but bright and cheerful too and i love it. I noticed this moring that it is starting to bobble across the front and at the lower end of the sleeve. Apart from this, nothing is wrong with it. I am loath to dispose of it. Anyone got ideas how to save it??

You can buy a little gadget on places like Ebay or Amazon that will remove bobbles. We used to call them de-fuzzers but I believe they are correctly called lint removers. Always worth having one in as they work on all kinds of fabrics.

I keep a disposable razor handy just for this problem

Yes, I use a disposable razor too. Just make sure to hold the material taught and then 'shave' the material - works a treat.
