SFZero Memorabilia by miss understanding, Whimsical Disarray
October 28th, 2007 11:29 PM
Taking a page from Yellowbear's book, Mitten and I decided to also do t-shirts for this task.
It started off with some difficulty, because I had the images edited and ready to go, but Mitten had the colour printer. So she brought it over to my house, and we hooked everything up and got to printing! We had a few trial errors where the printing didn't go as planned, or didn't come out properly, but in the end it worked out just right.
Instead of creating a large logo, we opted for the "pocket logo" shirtfront with our names on the front, and the sf0 logo and url on the back, similar in design to our Family Crest shirts.
Printing and cutting out of all pieces worked out wonderfully, but when it came to ironing, some of the pieces didn't want to stay. We've had to use fabric glue to put them together properly -- and we're still patching up. Future note: Don't buy that type of iron-on transfer in the future!
The shirts turned out well, and we wore them out to the grocery store while we were picking up the ingredients for a late dinner before watching some of Season 2 of LOST.
I want to try and make a few more t-shirts, but probably try to do it with a different sort of transfer paper.
I would think that other forms of memorabilia would work better. I may try doing key-chains or postcards of some sort next.

Cut-out Names, SF0 Logos, our Aesthematic logos, and the site URL all ready for ironing!

Mitten's Aesthematic's shirtfront. Her name didn't want to stick on. We later glued it with fabric glue.
