<<- Bad Mom, LOL!
As anal retentive as I am, this idea never occurred to me!
So, now that I have stumbled onto this section of The DIS, tell a novice crafter how to get started, and what I ABSOLUTELY should have??
We're going in May for our FIRST TIME!, and I'd love to make a few of those Tshirts for the kids. Do I understand that you just save the image to my computer, get some transfer paper from the crafty store, then iron away?
(where's Tink? this is too good to be true?!! )

My problem is, I have 3 little people with very big names:
Jacqueline is 5
Christian and Isabella are 3

so, I have to squeeze those big names onto itty bitty shirts (sizes 6-7, 4, and 2, respectively)

Any creative ideas for the not-so-faint of heart? They have no real faves, although the girls lean toward princesses, and C likes Pooh, but they love all of them (how democratic!)
Other than Tshirts, what else do you use the designs on?

Thanks for advice and input! My eyes were googly trying to figure out where to start...

Not sure how to do the t-shirt transfers, but I created three name designs, just as an idea on how to squeeze big names into small spaces.

I tried to remember how small their t-shirts would be for their sizes.

thank you! they are absolutely precious!
now all I have to do is try to transfer... I'll post pix when (if?) they turn out!

You may want to print a copy on plain paper first to check the size of the image compaired to their shirts.

If they are not the correct size, let me know what I need to do. We will be leaving this Saturday for a 4 day Disney cruise followed by 3 days at Disney/Sea World.

I they need to be re-sized, I can work on them when we return.

Glad you liked them. I am just learning how to make them, thanks to Cruiser1969 in the Disney Faces Designs thread.

This is precious! Would you mind doing one for us and each of our kids? "Lindsay" is 3 and she loves The Little Mermaid. "Michael" is 7 and he loves Stitch. I would like one that says "Mom" with the princesses. Dh would like one that says "Dad" with Mickey. Thank you!
