Quilt-T Soft

When I open my bottom dresser drawer the story of my life bulges out in various graphics printed on our favorite fabric, cotton. You too have that bottom drawer packed with old T-shits that you know will never be worn again. We would all love the extra space but can’t seem to part all the great memories these shirts represent. If you’re like me, most of them you couldn’t even wear if you really wanted too so why not do something useful with them? Make a quilt!
You can go about turning screen printed t-shirts into quilts one of two ways. There are a couple of websites out there that will do it for you. It seems pretty simple. Clean out that bottom drawer, mail the shirts to the company of your choice, and a short time later vola, you have a new custom quilt in the mail.
Now, if your more of the type that likes to put your own blood, sweat, and tears into quilting you can break out the thimble and go at it yourself. Visit our friends at eHow.com for instructions on recycling your old t-shirts into a quilt. The site offers step by step instructions on how to make your custom t-shirts a blanket of memories.
No matter which process you use to recycle your old t-shirts you can be sure you will always be able to keep yourself warm with memories.

History to a T

With spring just around the corner long sleeve t-shirts and hooded sweat shirts will soon be tucked away till fall and out will come the collections of classic t-shirts. Ever wonder where the t-shirt came from? Imagine life without? In addition to defending our freedom the United States Military can be credited with the evolution our favorite shirt. The Tunic, was as style of shirt designed by the Romans and later adopted and transformed by the European troops as an undergarment. During World War One, American Soldiers know as “doughboys” saw this light weight cotton shirt and by World War Two the T-Shirt became standard issue uniform for the United States Military. In 1948 the first printed t-shirts went into circulation as part of Thomas E. Dewey’s presidential campaign. The shirt now hangs in the Smithsonian Institute. A couple years following Dewey a character named Stanley Kowalski played by Marlin Brando spent a good deal of the film "A streetcar Named Desire" in his tee shirt. The image of the Brando became an icon in its own right and suddenly the young and restless had a style to call their own. Soon James Dean jumped on the bandwagon, sporting a leather jacket, jeans and tee shirt staring in "Rebel Without a Cause ". Posters of Dean in his white tee remain popular today. Then along came the sixties where Hippies abandoned traditional dress for tie-dye. Tee shirts were one of the easiest and cheapest forms of clothing to buy and dye. A decade later the t-shirt became a form of self expression and message emblazoned t-shirts blossomed. Personal viewpoints, philosophies, sexual messages, politics, advertising, and funny sayings could be found. Whatever the message, it was on a tee shirt.

T-Shirt Humor

Today we bring you a bit of t-shirt humor. Well, as you will see it’s not exactly t-shirt but it is definitely humorous! Not sure where this guy is from but based on the excessive amount of Speedo action on this beach I think it is safe to say this was not filmed on a beach in the United States.

Get the Most out of Your Next Fundraising Event with Custom Shirt Printing –How you can use TheShirtPrinter.com as a fundraiser

Selling shirts is a great way to fundraise for sports teams, the local fire or police department, or a school club. T-shirts can be customized to say virtually anything and are something everyone uses. Also, when someone wears a t-shirt that represents a specific organization, it garners bonus publicity for that organization.

What better way is there to increase buzz for your club or team than to have people pay you to become walking billboards?

T-shirts are great because selling them can be one of the most convenient options available if organized properly. Websites like TheShirtPrinter.com, an online custom t-shirt printing store, are great because they offer options specifically designed for t-shirt fundraisers.

It works like this: an organizer sets up an account, makes a profile, designs the t-shirt and sets the price. Then, when people want to buy the shirt, all they have to do is go to the website where there will be an online order form. To see a sample order form click here. With this form, the customer selects their size and style, and pays online. That way the organizer doesn’t have to worry about keeping track of money or running out of inventory. TheShirtPrinter.com is paid a base amount per shirt and the difference between this base price and the price that the club or team has set for each shirt sale goes to that particular team or club. Therefore, the organization has control of their profits.

Another fun feature of websites like TheShirtPrinter.com is that you can invite people to have a t-shirt design contest. This is a great program for religious/ church youth groups, and school teams/clubs. Not only will you help build excitement within the group by getting them involved in the design process, but the winning t-shirt design becomes the group’s official fundraising product as well!

Custom Shirts for Family Holidays or Family Reunions – It’s Easier than You Think

Need a great new idea to top last year’s family reunion? Consider having custom t-shirts printed. Custom t-shirts are a really cute idea for family reunions and holidays spent together because they demonstrate familial unity, are fun to wear, and prove useful when you forget what the name of Aunt Mabel’s third husband is.

Having custom t-shirts or custom sweatshirts printed for the entire, extended family may seem like too much (or too expensive) of a hassle. Surprise! It’s actually remarkably affordable. Screen printing, the most common form of shirt printing, requires minimal labor and is easy to do in large batches.

It’s also a great option because it’s so easy to organize. Find an online shirt printing company that offers a design lab where you can create your own shirt template. Set up a profile and secure web address. Then email the link to everyone in the family so they can place their own orders. This way, no one person is in charge of money management and you don’t have to worry about running out of a certain size. You might have to help Grandma order hers, but setting up an online account is quick and easy, takes all the pressure off you, creates a fun, unified theme for the reunion and allows everyone to be happy with their sizes and colors.

At TheShirtPrinter.com, group orders can be set up in any one of the following ways:

As a Custom Group Order Form that includes a set price per t-shirt and a minimum order of 20 items.

Or, as a Fundraising Order Form which allows you to set the retail price for t-shirts, sweatshirts or any other custom print order. With this option, groups and sports teams will receive the difference in price for what TheShirtPrinter.com charges from the custom-set retail price of each garment. A minimum order of 75 pieces must be met.

For this and other great school or team sports fundraising ideas, visit TheShirtPrinter.com!

TheShirtPrinter.com Brings Sexy Back

There is no better way to spend spring break then to hide your blubber and milky white skin under a comfortable plus size t-shirt while everyone else frolics around you having fun. At least that has always been my experience. So last year when one of my friends suggested we get our posse custom spring break t-shirts I was the first to throw down some cash. I thought a t-shirt explaining my slow metabolism and sensitive skin was a cool idea but I was quickly out voted for some snappy little saying about how hard we party. Like every other year my spring break began with a new year’s resolution to have a six pack by the time I board the plane. I was close to achieving my resolution but only had time to chug five before the final boarding call. However, all was not lost. While the group was working its way to the gate a cluster of girls took note from our custom t-shirts that we were all headed the to the same place. By the time we landed the t-shirts had caused two of my friends to find their spring break romances. I was only three friends away from sitting in the room (when it wasn’t “occupied”) formulating my new strategy for Dungeons and Dragons. Fortunately, it rained the first day so I was spared the “pleasure” of the beach. Instead we spent the morning strolling in and out of the rain and tacky tourist shops packed with t-shirts and seashell wind chimes. Somehow among all the clutter two more friends had managed to find their spring break bunnies. As me and the other lonely guy walked back to the hotel our custom t-shirts got some more attention. Unfortunately it was from a group of guys in greek t-shirts making some comments about the way my now very wet t-shirt fit my rather large pectoral area. I thought who cares what they say, there’s nothing wrong with being compared to Pamela Lee in a wet t-shirt. She’s a nice enough lady. People love her, right? We pressed on towards our hotel passing party after party and receiving many positive jokes and comments about our t shirts. Finally we were invited in to a party. They had everything; beer, food and chicks! Many of them were also refugees from the rain and were playfully sporting wet t-shirts. One got my eye right away. She had long red hair that framed the face of a porcelain doll, laid across her gallant shoulders and onto her colossal chest. Just physically we had so much in common. I wanted to say hello but as usual my nerves go the best of me so I buried my face in a bowl of potato chips. As the bowl was about ½ gone I notice her walking toward me with one hand behind her back. Oh no, what do I do? Does she want the chips? Is she coming to spit on me? Ask me my bra size? Oh no… munch much…. She’s coming closer …… crunch crunch…… oh God! What’s behind her back? Was she dared to throw bacon grease on me? I close my eyes hoping it will all go away when I hear the voice of an angel ask “so do you party as hard as your t shirt says?”. I open my eyes to see her and a bottle of tequila. Whew, I was so relieved when Bethanie introduced herself and served me up a shot! Turns out we had a ton in common and we had both ordered from TheShirtPrinter.com. Later that night we parted ways but before doing so we traded our custom apparel as mementos. My custom t-shirt got me her custom thong. Thanks TheShirtPrinter!

Oh and one t-shirt tip. This video is a must see for any spring breaker taking off their t-shirts.

American Idols Randy Jackson Revitalizes Vintage 70's Radio Clyde T-Shirt
