A camping board T Shirt?

[Tigger0624]

Thanks!
I'll check that out. I wish I could find a brick & mortar place to get the shirts though. I waste SO MUCH money buying shirts that end up not fitting/not the right size. Why are sizes so weird now?
Do you know I've ordered years ago- and then again recently and disney online STILL hasn't got their sizing figured out? I even got my youngest the SAME SIZE shirt in various designs-and they are all different sizes- it's ridiculous. I mean the size says the same- but the shirts are extremely different in actual size. One could actually fit Ruby! (I ordered kids small for Rita- Ruby is 15yrs old and almost as tall.. and almost as big as me in shirts. I'm a little fatter all over- but in the "shirt" area she's about as big as me if you get my drift). There is no way a kids small should fit her! She wears adult clothes. Totally ridick and can't figure out why the shirts are such different sizes when they all say small. *rolling my eyes*

Okay end of rant about that- but anyway... I get so tired of ordering shirts online -from anywhere- and the shirts not fitting. I bet there is no regular store that would sell solid color shirts in various sizing for the entire family? So I wonder if I should just go with whatever color they want- with just the same iron-on on them?

I've gotten hooked with Rog's desings and am making things for everthing- though DH stopped me when I wanted to make Diz shirts for the dogs too.... Anyway- I've foind most of the sizes I needed and a decent selection of colors at Michaels- they were on sale this week for 2.99 each... AC Moore usually has a selection too!

So far I've come up with thoughts for 4 or 5 shirts for each of us, Pillowcases for everyone, and a tote bag to lug around instead of the diaper bag- I'm going to see if i can attach a snap or something to the handles of a canvas bag so it will hook onto the stroller handle- we have a double and none of our regular bags fit around the handle.... anywho.... just my thoughts... I need to get my printer tunred on and heat up the iron... if Taz will show me how to post pics when he wakes up, I'll try to get some of the shirts up here...

I'd love to see them!

You've got me thinking... not just shirts and stuff but also that if I made a smaller graphic and did the iron on -on other things like tote bags that would personalize them more and maybe keep my hands on them better. LOL You know what I mean. hmm, what an idea!

Love your designs, BigDaddyRog. Is there any way you could post the Ft. Wilderness with the headless horseman design without the red text on the headless horseman? Thanks!!!

 

[Tigger0624]

going to try and get pics up as soon as the kidlets go to sleep and I can safely put out the shirts so they dont get ruined....

 

[keylime359]

OK, these are all the ones Ive made so far...but there are other designs through out the thread that are very also very cool, as well as usefull info on where to get large quantities of blank shirts at excellent prices, hints on applying these to shirts, hints on correcting mistakes, types of transfer papers that may be better than others, etc...the whole thread is worth a look.

I am also making each of the boys personalized Disney pillowcases, a tote bag to haul all my stuff around, and a pillowcase for Andy to get autographs at Crystal Palace at his b-day dinner and who knows what else I will come up with in the next 24 days....

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Daaaaaang...you been BUSY!!!!!!!!

 

[Tigger0624]

Guilty- I managed to get 15 shirts totally done- but unfortunately I didnt get a lick of housework or anything else done today- though I did get the puppy to the vet to be spayed... dont need any Basset/Newfoundland pups running around here!!!

 

[CampingChristy]

Way Way Cool!!!!

tigger - I was born and raised in St Aug - all my family still lives there!!

I almost feel like family. Ok can you make my family shirts too for our April trip, Sis??

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Wow those are really awesome! I'm so ready to get started on mine!
I bought some different color shirts at walmart tonight- cause they were dirt cheap but there was no way for me to get the same color shirts there for all of us (me/DD15 in women's ofcourse, DD8 in girls section, DS11 in boys section and DH in men's section- they just didn't all have the same colors- not even white in all sections! ugh!) but I figured with the same transfer on them it will be fine.. maybe I'll find matching shirts tomorrow for other designs.

I really like that one that says Fort Fiends, LIvin the life, lovin the magic- is that on this thread too?

And you know how to do the mickey tie dye? If so- please give me instructions! LOL I so want to make those!

Okay here's another question- did you use the same size graphic for all the shirts? (this question directed to ANYONE who has done these). I ask because I practice printed off one of the Fort Wilderness ones on paper- it's fine for DH's shirt... probably fine for me/DD15 also- but it looks REALLY huge on DD8's shirt. Should I make hers a smaller graphic by resizing it? And if I do that won't it mess up the graphic? Or did everyone just put the same size even if it's going on a small kid shirt? LMK!

 

[BigDaddyRog]

I scale the kids designs to half size, because, youre right...they ARE too big for a kids shirt. Shrinking a design wont mess it up...enlarging a design is a completely different story though.

That "livin the life" design IS NOT on this thread...but Ive seen it here on the boards somewhere a looong time ago...good luck finding THAT!!!


EDIT

I found it...I had a version of it stashed in my own photobucket account and didnt even remember!!!

Okay so just resize it when printing it? don't resize it in pic thing (I use irfanview), save then print- don't do it that way?

Oh thanks for finding it!
I wish it said more though... like Happy Campers at Fort Wildnerness or something. LOL But maybe it would be fine like that... thanks!
I made DH and DS already and they look great! I used the one with the fire background for them... I don't know if I want to make that same design for everyone though. I know I want to use pink/light green for DD8. DD15's will have to wait because the shirt I got her tonight fits her now- slightly tight. It's 100% cotton so it will shrink- and she's already stretching the chest area of it a bit- if I use that shirt with the iron on and then wash it- she'll stretch it there bigtme and make the transfer image all crack-y. KWIM? LOL So I gotta exchange hers. She's the hardest to ever buy for without her trying things on..... but now I know about resizing- I think I can make DD8's tonight. And mine too- once I try on the shirt to see if it fits. LOL

I wonder which image would look best on a bright (but not darkish) orange shirt? That's the color DD15 wants but she doesn't like any of the graphics that have pink in them- and the others have so much orange in them already it would kinda blend in? I dunno.....

Hows this...I added Shan's FtW logo to it......

Remember...you can add your kids' names to these in any photo editing program your using...dont be afraid to experiment...if ya mess something up...just come back and redownload a fresh copy!!

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Here's a general idea of what they may look like on a light orange teeshirt as a background....I dont know if this will help you decide..but it may give some insight....

The last one would obviously need some more lettering added to it...maybe her name, or some kind of phrase thats meaningful to her, ya know...something to fill in the open space.

My personal choice would be the third one...but Ive been told that my taste is pretty tacky, and Im OK with that!!! Let me know if ya need more help.

Hmm, I think I like that!
Oh I did DD8's shirt too. The green was sliglhtly darker than what it appears yours is on your DD's shirt- but that's okay. It still looks adorable. LOL My shirt doesn't fit. Figures.... I need a bit of room because it's already tight and 100% cotton- I don't want to wear it once! So me and DD15 (as usual... hardest to buy for without trying things on) will have to wait till I can exchange our shirts.
That actually does help -the one with all the orange in it actually doesn't look bad with the orange shirt/background. Hmmm
I really liked that mickey head/patriotic one... I just agree with you- don't like the empty bottom part and there is no way I can put lettering in there curved like that, same font as FW, etc. LOL But I like it- cause it's a mickey head AND patriotic!

These were so easy- I can't believe I haven't done this before now. It's fun. I can see I'm going to spend a fortune making our own shirts now LOL but it's a lot cheaper than buying shirts when you get there! I figure after all the shirts and the transfer paper (I will not count ink used to print practices on paper then on the transfers) the total cost for all 5 should be around $35 (with one extra transfer paper left- since that's counting 2 pkgs 3each and so one will be left over everytime I make 5 shirts). that's pretty close to the cost of ONE shirt for me or DH! I luuuurrrve saving money.
thanks so much for your help!
