well.. I fignally figured out what my problem was with the transfers (after I went out and bought the avery ones LOL).. my iron wasn't hot enough LOL.. I just wanted to smack my self in the head now that I've figured that out I'm trying to decide which one washes the best before I put it on my one "important" shirt.. the one I bought with a design already on it on the back.... Once I can figure out how to post images on here I'll add pics of all the shirts I've done... I did 3 tye dye shirts so far... and 2 transfer shirts have been done... now I need to get more t-shirts .. still hunting for white tank tops.... I have another design request ASAP Please!!! I'm going to CRT the day after my birthday for breakfast with "royalty" I'd love a birthday shirt with the princesses on it... something that says it's my b-day and i'm celebrating it royalty style or something like that???? I'd love to see if anybody has something like that
THANKS... without this board I never would have had any t-shirts

For those of ya'll who have already made your shirts, which is more durable Avery or HP? Having done shirts many times (Girl Scouts, bday parties, etc.) I have never come across transfer paper that holds up well and I really need some suggestions. But then again I haven't bought any paper in about two years so it may be better now.

Also, we're printing on white shirts, do I get the dark shirt paper for a "richer" looking color, but then have white around the artwork that may or may not be noticeable or get the transfer paper for light shirts?

Thanks!!!!

Check out my website - I have several princess ones like that and I can customize any wording

I bought the Avery transfer paper for dark shirts and I like the way the pictures came out alot better than the couple I did on light colored transfer paper.

I too am wondering how they wash afterwards. I am going to go with flipping them inside out, washing on cold and hanging to dry. And I'm not going to do it until everyone has worn their shirts! So I don't end up sobbing all over a possible mess

I also bought a bunch of the Hanes 50/50 shirts at AC Moore this weekend (were on sale for $2.49) then I needed another white youth one so I found that at Michael's for $3.49... the one from Michael's is a Jerzee's brand and the t- shirt was a little bit thicker. I thought was nicer... especially with a white t-shirt.

Ok. We weathered Rita well, although she put me waaaaaaayyyyyy behind schedule. We leave Thursday. I had planned on working on my shirts this weekend, but ended up working at the Casino/Hotel I work for. Our power went out early Saturday morning. The hotel gave us a room, but I earned it. So many people called out and did not come to work. My DD's 11 and 8 and I rolled silverware for the buffet. Later I even ended up busing tables for a couple of hours. Never done that before and have a new appreciation for those that do! Hard work.

I was able to get one shirt done and it turned out really well. It was the Polynesian Princess design I posted a few days ago. My DD's loved it. Will post pictures later. One down 12 to go!

ladylucca....

the dwarf designs continue to look great! i just wanted to point out, though that the mattress brand is spelled "posturepedic" .... in case anyone that wants the design is concerned!

Keep them coming, they're wonderful!

The dwarf designs are great! Glad you weathered the storm OK, 4myGirls. We did OK here in Katy, wind, electricity on and off for a few hours. PD and prayers to those east of us who got what we thought we would.

The dwarf designs are all amazing... I look forward to seeing new ones every time I come on.

Prayers and PD to those affected by the big storms this season. I hope all is well and there is no more to come. I try to keep a balance between staying informed on what is going on down there and keeping my mind on things that are going on in my own life.

My goddaughter (age 1) just recently went through open heart surgery and she is recovering wonderfully. We spent Wed at the hospital during the surgery and we went back to see her Friday. She is slowly returning to her normal self! She is at home now and we hope to go see her tomorrow evening. Please keep the little in your prayers.

I started packing last night! I've never done a packing list before, but you guys have inspired me to give it a shot. Hopefully it will mean less stress - which would be a good thing!

Kate! Kate!

The transfer paper came in the mail today! Thank you so much. Now, just a few questions.....Do you know what brand it is and do you think that if you have some time you could post, pm, or email the instructions that go with it? We have all learned how important those pesky details are. Has anyone tried them yet? How are they holding up?

 

[lovesdumbo]

This is my busy time at work and I haven't been around here much. I got caught up on the 80+ pages I missed over the weekend. All the designs are amazing. LOVE the dwarf ones!

I bought a craft magazine this weekend and it had instructions on how to decropage (sp??) comic strips onto plain white canvas sneakers. I was thinking it would so cool to do that with some of these great designs. When I get a chance I'll see if the magazine has a website or maybe I could scan a few of the photos. I suppose it would be better to actually try making some and post photos of Disney sneakers but I know I won't get around to doing that before my trip in 17 days. Like I said this is the crazy time at work for me but then I get to take a vacation.


cassi-I've been meaning to tell you how beautiful that precious little girl is-she makes me smile everytime I see her photo. She is absolutely in my prayers.

Gotta get to work now!

Hi Everyone,
Had to finish Halloween costumes.
I will post pictutes later.
I'm very proud of how DS costume turned out.
Glad to hear everyone is safe after the last storm.
I love the dwarfs car designs.
Maybe we can get a few more of the DH's to wear these shirts.
That all the designing women have made.
No affense Kevin.
I keep hearing my DH won't wear 1.
Mine will but he's not going.
He's @ DL right now on business.
The dwarfs shops are to cute.
Well DH is out of town for 3 days.
Also it's my day off.
As I have spend my Summer here.
Now I HAVE TO clean my house.
I'll be back.

By the way does anyone have a Sea World design.
Just found out DD got 4 free tickets.
Miltary promotion, she is active AFR.

I can't decide if I want to just use this alone or if I should put the pouting Tinkerbell on the front with the wording, "I'm not hungry" and this on the back.

So I mailed the transfer paper late Saturday - and never dreamed the post office would be so efficient!!

I have directions that I need to scan and post for you all - I just haven't done it yet - I am swamped today - I actually have a job it is part time planning religion classes at church but our teacher orientation is tonight and I have been frantically getting ready for it - something - although I can't imagine what it is - caused me to put it off until the last minute!!

Oh defintiely do the tink thing on the front... and show us how it turns out

 

[ladylucca]

I'm glad everyone likes the dwarf designs. I am dwarf crazy now, never knew I liked them THIS much LOL. I just ironed the sleepy's shop design onto a pillow case for my car pillow. The family thinks I've gone over the edge...

I thought this was to cute funny.

7 Dwarfs Moving Co.
Have them moving a piano.
With Dopey giving directions.
Something like his hands up as to easy, easy this way.
Grumpy pacing with a clipboard & pencil.

Remember how little they are & how big a piano is.

What you think.
Can someone bring this to life??
