T-shirt Design: First real print!

So on Wednesday I went into town to get my first design printed up! I got it printed on a white crop top from H&M which cost me £1.99. The print cost £8 for one side and an additional £5 for the other side, which would make the top cost £15 as an absolute minimum, without making any profit :/ So perhaps it's not the best idea to have the small "tshitz" printed on the back, and instead have it printed really small on the front in the bottom right corner, similar to the other t-shirt designs.

Concept sheet for Weird Hippy Shit illustrating a variety of garments my design could be printed on.

Really happy with how it turned out, the staff at the printing shop were really friendly and I can get a discount if I bulk order, which is really good! Now all I need to do is sell some...



I'm definitely going to keep this top for myself as it's the original print and cost a lot, meaning I wouldn't be able to sell it for a profit even if I wanted to. So this will be mine! I've been wearing it around the house and I've even worn it to a gig in Sheffield to try and drum up some interest! There are now two people who'd like to purchase a tshit! Result!
