Not So Good Shirt News


Brappy Hour

490 views

Hello everyone. It seems my little shirt operation hit a snag today. I finished printing all of the shirts, but later when I washed them in the school washer, a lot of shirts lost paint and became faded. Thankfully I kept another load of them. So not all of them are ruined. Apparently some of the shirts had not been heated all the way, so the paint did not stick and came off in the washer. I was so mad and disappointed. But I made sure to re-heat the ones that weren't ruined, so that they wouldn't fall to the same fate. I feel the most awful that I won't be able to get as many shirts out to those who want them as I wanted, and the whole size of XL was lost. But I have a plan, and a surprise.

 

Shirts for sale are now categorized in this manner:

 

Normal BZP shirt: Picture

9 Small

9 Medium

9 Large

 

BZP Faded Edition:

These shirts will be heated again and sold to those who like it's design, but no two faded shirts are the same. Picture

The inventory of these shirts will be posted when available.

 

And Introducing.......

 

The BZP Staff Edition!: Picture

Only four shirts were made today, and I'm not too sure if I can make more.

1 Small

3 Medium

 

That's all for now. Let me know what you think.

Ooh. That actually looks kind of snazzy!

 

I may know your problem to the fading if you'd like to maybe try to prevent it.

 

The ink that you're using may need to be heat set to keep it from fading when washed. You can do this by putting a piece of paper over the design and ironing it for 3-5 minutes or by putting it on a high heat setting in your dryer for 5-10 minutes. But, if you're going to wash them and let it fade like you did, drying them will essentially be the heat set instead. Actually, you said you're heating them already. How are you doing it?

 

Either way, they're going to look amazing.

 

....staff shirt version? :o Are they....green? Or is it greyish? I can't tell.

Well, that's pretty cool. The few times I had to heat set shirts we chucked them in the dryer for a while, but that seems so much fancier....

P.S. You should make the staff ones faded as well. :P

BR! Just when I think you can't get any more trendy and fashionable, you mess something else up and impress me further. You're gonna make a fortune outta this-- a fortune.

You're not messing up -- The Spirit of the 21st Century is just getting at you and forcibly bringing you up to date on fashion! Just, Final Destination style.

Well now, these are pretty cool.

 

I don't have any dark green shirts, but I'm a large.

For only $5, I am slightly more than interested. If you had/have a green in large I'll commit. I'm not entirely sold on the blue though, pretty much because I don't know how much I would wear it. (I don't even wear my staff shirt around--because "no one" would know what it is. I stick to my other explicitly-LEGO shirts.)

I'm not sure if I need to reserve a shirt again? I posted once in the previous blog...

 

I'm waiting on Maj to work so I can look at the pictures. >_<
