June Hybrid Challenge - Hybrid T-shirts

Welcome to the June hybrid project, are you all ready for a new challenge?

Before we start, let’s announce the winners of April and May (yes, we have a winner for every hybrid challenge now! yay)

The winners are: Léa Biagioni for her beautiful phone book cover and "as you wish" for her N monogram. Congratulations ladies! Please send me a PM here to receive your gift card to the shoppe.

Now onto this month's challenge: What about putting your digital designs into fashion? The possibilities are endless, but let’s start small. The challenge is to decorate a T-shirt with your digital designs. Thanks Dream Girl Jody for the great idea ;)

For this challenge you will need a T-shirt, a fabric transfer paper, and an iron :)

Fabric transfer paper comes in two varieties, for dark fabric and for white fabric. Choose carefully as this will impact on your final result. Follow the transfer’s instructions carefully.

Five little steps to get you started:

1. Start by creating your digital design, here is mine made with brushes from the Punked kit by Lori:


2. If you choose the transfer for white fabric you will need to flip your image, like so:

(DO NOT flip your image if you picked the dark fabric transfer paper)

3. Print your design into the transfer paper carefully following the instructions:

I used Inspired 4x6 White T-shirt transfers by Avery.

4. Iron on your transfer into the shirt:


5. Let the transfer cool before removing and voila:


Here is my little boy showing off his shirt:

We also wanted to add here, that Little Dreamer is moving to a new server this month. Please stay tuned to this blog as we update you with the changes we will be making. We are also implementing a new shopping cart system that will server our customers even better :)

We have also been kicking around the idea of having a forums area. It has been requested quite a bit actually..  So, we thought we'd post a little poll here to see what you think!
