The Struggle Begins

So, the struggle begins. I really do know that a lot of work has to go into the design, durability, and like-ability of my t-shirts, but it is freaking HARD.

My brain is good at thinking of every little thing that could possibly go wrong, and although I like this part of me, sometimes I wish I could TURN IT OFF! So, you know, I can function like a normal human being? There are so many things that can go wrong like for example... 

I just failed at my third attempt at making a stencil, and the fabric markers I bought/a stencil making company in the UK sound pretty good right now. I don't know...should I continue? 
This is my attempt with an X-acto knife and an old clear folder. Lord, help me! 

Anyways, I am too excited about my actual designs, so I should have samples of all THREE designs soon. Morgan Thomas should take pics that are not on a 5year+ old phone. 

Hallelujah!

Prototype 1!

I got excited about my new t-shirts so...

Yesterday, I bought the essentials to get started on t-shirt designs. With a  limited budget, I am just doing the "appily" design for now, but I will later create the other designs once I learn the basics.

HERE IT IS! My first design!! It's so beautiful, even with a giant gaping hole in it. 

See you soon for more!

Starting

I am starting a t-shirt company called "Appily" because it seems like every time I start my Sophomore year, I get a really good idea for making money.

Last time, it was a philanthropy Cookie Company. This time, philanthropy Stylish T-shirt Company (that are also environmentally sustainable).

Dude, Nice. Pictures of the design ideas are coming soon!
