Whatever happened to BigDaddyRog anyway? I haven't seen him in a year or so around here.

I made a Fort shirt for my hubby and he received soooooo many compliments on it. Even the CM's at the Fort asked if it was a new Fort clothing line... haha could have made some $$$ hehe
Found the graphic during a Google image search and used the dark shirt iron on transfers, simple but very cool. Attached a photo of the hubby wearing it....

Here is the version my family wore on a trip last year. We used a design from the thread 2goofycampers linked above.

I love both of ya'lls shirts!!

I know this is going to be a dumb question, but how do ya'll get the designs and colors onto the iron-on? I'm not exactly domesticated in regards to things like that.

Walmart sells some by Avery that you just put through a color printer. Very easy to print from the computer, then iron on following the instructions on the package. I think Joanns sells some too.

I'll give a to these transfers at www.amymickey.com - they are great and she's on the disboards. With these you don't need to do any rotating, etc... just pop in your printer and you're ready to go. They wash great too.

If you go on CreativeDisigns board and type in "Fort Wilderness" you'll get some designs on there too.

How do you get these to iron on so perfectly? I made some last year that were a disaster. Wouldn't transfer off, images cracked and peeled during the event. Never tried to wash them, just threw them away. We wore them to MNSSHP and our "costumes" were all almost before we got an hour into the party

Please give me the secret?

Not my shirts - but try the amymickey ones - they are super easy and you can't mess them up!I made 10 shirts for our last trip as a novice shirt maker and they were all fine - the kids are wearing there's months later and they've been thru the washer many times (just don't put them in the dryer)

I used the avery ones for "dark shirts". The light shirt transfers tended to crack and not completely transfer, faded after a wash or two.. didn't like them at all!! I did the dark shirt ones (even on lighter shirts too) and trimmed really close to the image so you never noticed it wasn't part of the shirt. Iron one was easy and I have washed the above shirt at least 30 times and it still looks just as good as the day I did it....

Thanks for the info. I didn't use the dark shirts one. I will have to try these sometime. Do they also have to be for "stretchable" fabric?

Thanks again.

We also used the dark shirt transfers, and 2 years later the shirts still look like new.

Your welcome
As far as I know there was only one type of avery dark shirt transfers. It's totally different than the light ones. It kinda feels like a plastic film like transfer that is very pliable and would work on stretchy fabrics. My hubbys and daughters shirts were tshirt stretchy material and they worked really well.... I highly recommend reading the instructions first though. I didn't and assumed they were like the light transfers and I ended up transfering the wrong side to my iron instead of to the shirt.... whooooppss!! lol

Sounds good. Now I'm really anxious to try for our Dec. trip. I'll have to experiment. Thanks again.
