Fun with T-Shirt Transfers !

So, what do you do if you've got some nervous energy, but are too lazy to crank up the air in the shop and actually do some work?   Well, you stay in your cool house and make T-Shirt Transfers of course!

Walmart sells Avery Brand Transfer Sheets that are run through your printer to make iron-on designs for T-Shirts.  There are two basic types that can be used on light or dark colored fabric, but I lean toward those for light fabric, as the ones for dark T-Shirts are kind of a thick "decal" that doesn't (for me) stand up well to washing.  

Either way, it's REAL important to always turn the shirts inside-out before chucking them in a wash machine.





I tried a Light Fabric transfer on one of my "Cox Powered" gray T's and while it's a bit dim, thought it wasn't too bad.





I use the "Paint" program that's included with most PC's (no way I'm shelling out the bucks for Photo-Shop!) to add lettering and "clean up" some images that might have had a spot or stain on the original scan.

So here's your chance to "Dress for Success" in the upcoming "Fly-It-If-You-Got-It" event...or anything else that may be coming along!
