Free Mock-Up for T-Shirt Designers by Tom Neal

September 9, 2009

No, you can’t buy this (well, you could, the mockup is of an XS American Apparel 2001 tee), it’s a mockup done by Tom Neal for t-shirt designers to put designs onto so that your mockup looks a bit more realistic. As I don’t design tees I can’t really compre it to other mockups, but [...]

HYA Tours the Spreadshirt HQ in Leipzig

June 30, 2009

Whilst I was in Berlin for T-Shirt Day it seemed like a great idea to hop on the ICE train (which isn’t as cool as it sounds) and head 100 miles south of the capital to the city of Leipzig to check out Spreadshirt’s much-larger-than-I-expected HQ and production facility. If any of you are wondering, [...]

Turn an old tee into a cool scarf/necklace [DIY]

June 12, 2009

This cool looking scarf/necklace was featured in Instructable’s weekly newsletter, and I thought it looks no nice (and presumably easy though I haven’t actually looked at the tutorial properly yet) that I’d share it with you, so if you were wondering “what should I do with this old t-shirt?” wonder no more!

Johnny Cupcakes Lecture @ Leeds College of Art & Design this Thursday (Update: London Meet-up on Saturday)

June 2, 2009

I’m in two minds as to whether I should make the trip to Leeds for this. On the one hand, I’ve heard a lot of good stuff about his talks, I like the promise of free cupcakes, and I might get to meet the guy after writing about his goods for years (though I don’t [...]

Stop mocking me!

January 22, 2009

See that t-shirt up there, that is not a t-shirt, that, apparently (and I am skeptical) is a mock up. It was made up (I think) by Jeff Finley from Go Media (you’re probably more aware of their blog if you’re the kind of person that designs rather than hires designers), and I’d really like [...]

Eric from Linty Fresh tells you have to make your brand suck less

January 14, 2009

Eric Terry, the man behind Linty Fresh (that’s him up there!), held a video webchat on Sunday evening in which he would answer people’s questions about the indie tee industry and share his experiences. With the time difference between the US and UK Eric’s Q&A sessions are on a little late for HYA’s bed time, [...]

Go Media’s Hoodie Design Package/Templates

December 19, 2008

I know I’m venturing into unchartered waters here, but I’d like to think that HYA has a duty to help out clothing designers as well as clothing buyers (yes, very much overlapping groups, but you know what I mean), and if it means that I don’t have to post pictures of poorly mocked-up hoodies, then [...]

September 30, 2008

[I don't know what that sign is about, I took this photo in Manchester!] I’ve got a bit of random site news to bring you, and since they didn’t seem quite big enough to mention on their own, this post is packed with not one, not two, but three things that you might want to [...]

Wordans, another option in the custom shirt world

August 22, 2008

Ok, so you’ve got Cafepress, Zazzle, Spreadshirt, ShirtCity and a whole host of others that I’m forgetting, but you know what Wordans has that the others don’t? They’re Canadian! I guess I’m being a bit flippant, Wordans do appear to offer a good service, plenty of high quality products, direct to garment printing for regular [...]

handmade t-shirt by … s u s …

August 15, 2008

The chances of you getting this cool looking t-shirt delivered to your doorstep are pretty slim, and by pretty slim I mean impossible, because it’s a one off that the designer did as a gift for a friend, but I thought it would be nice to point out what someone can do with some fabric [...]

How To Use Adobe Illustrator (for designing t-shirts), according to LaFraise

July 9, 2008

Here’s a story from laFraise that doesn’t leave the North American contingent of the readership feeling left out. Their Seattle-based (IIRC) blogger, J3concepts, has put together a nice round-up of Adobe Illustrator tutorials he’s found on the tutorial website Tutorialized. The tutorials aren’t necessarily geared towards t-shirt design, but they could be pretty helpful if [...]

The Screen Printing Primer by Print Liberation

June 27, 2008

If you want to learn how to screen print from anyone, a company that makes really cool tees is a pretty good choice. I’ve never attempted screen printing, but I’d imagine that if I were going to give it a go then I’d need a fair amount of instruction, and my SpideyAndy-sense is telling me [...]

Why Johnny Cupcakes is awesome, by Johnny Cupcakes

June 10, 2008

That title is fairly well laced with snark, but its only meant in jest, Johnny Cupcakes is an inspiration to a lot of small clothing brand owners, and he seems like a nice guy too.One of the nice things that he does is give out advice to pretty much anyone that asks. The latest example [...]

In a few months time, Ashlee will wish its just paint on her tees

June 4, 2008

If you don’t get the title, Ashlee Simpson/Wentz is pregnant (right?) so… in a few months there’ll be baby puke on her clothes, not paint, and given the choice, I’d prefer paint to puke. I think this is actually a pretty cool looking t-shirt, you could really have some fun if you were making one [...]

T-Shirt Rug @ Instructables

May 1, 2008

At first I thought “ha, cool”, but then I realised that this would likely be a bit of a nightmare, there’s a reason why people don’t make carpets like t-shirts. I’m not ragging on the crafter since its a cool project, but I can’t imagine it lasting very well. If I were to attempt something [...]

Lists: Ten Great Videos About T-shirts

April 8, 2008

After seeing rather a lot of sub-par t-shirt videos being posted to YouTube (and therefore my new baby, TeeBurst), I felt that I needed to raise my spirits by finding some videos that were actually worth a few minutes of your time. 1. Justice – D.A.N.C.E: I thought I’d kick off the list with one [...]
