Laundry Day Penny

With talk of iron-ons, I realized I never put the process for Penny's Laundry Day shirt.  I mentioned some of this in my "Look at this!" post, but I'll say it again so its all in one spot.  :D

This shirt:


is this one:  http://www.threadless.com/product/824/Keeping_It_Real

Process:

1. I took this:


2. Edited it to this:


(click for full-size)

3. Printed it on an iron-on transfer sheet (light tshirt transfer, so make sure you flip it!)  I just scaled it so that it filled the entire page.

4. Cut out as close as i could get to the printed area using an x-acto.  The closer the cut, the less it looks like an iron-on and instead just printed on to the shirt.

5. Ironed on to this: http://store.americanapparel.net/2102.html?cid=199&c=Baby%20Blue
 (This one works too - http://store.americanapparel.net/2001w.html?cid=199&c=Baby%20Blue or really any light-blue t-shirt)

The result:


And viola.  I actually have to make another one at some point... I've worn this one so much that its faded quite a bit.

The skirt i found on ebay and altered it (too big and it was floor-length originally).

finished costume, costume, t-shirts, penny, resources
