Make a Custom Shirt

For years I've been making custom t-shirts. Partly because I worked in a t-shirt store in high school I found it was easy to do. Iron-On's have come a long way. Especially with the use of your computer/printer and transfer paper. First you want to buy yourself a plain colored t-shirt. Then buy the transfer sheets. The one I used for this project was for dark colored fabric, but they also make one especially for light colors. I could have used that, but since I already had the dark transfer paper, I went with this. Worked fine. Next you need to find a graphic on your computer you want to copy. Print it out according to the directions. Cut, Press on to the shirt covered with the special tissue paper the kit comes with and within minutes you have yourself a new shirt. I make Maddie a turkey shirt with the same print I used for the plate in her room. It's just so darn cute. I took some pictures of the process I went through to create her shirt. But please READ the directions on the package first before doing anything. I would do a test run, just so you have the hang of it.
