2013-10-12 05:44:12 UTC
I've been drawing misc. stuff since I was 16 and now I'm 20 and I have so many designs I'd love to put on some shirts and see if I could kick off a clothing line that way. I really want to learn how to use my sewing machine a little more and make custom style shirts but I have NO IDEA how to do that. I want to make a few test run shirts so I was thinking about having two or three made from a website like customink.com but their shirts are too low quality for me. I want some nice shirts that are not 100% cotton or polyester( i want blended shirts or higher quality materials) I already have an idea for a name and a logo, & I know where to get my custom tags and etc. I've been trying to get this started for like two or three weeks now but im just stuck and its frustrating me because I am HIGHLY motivated. People are going crazy over Brandy Melville clothing and she has the simplest designs my 7 year old cousin could have came up with. I really want to have a similiar style just because I am aiming towards the hipster, edgy boho style. but IDK where to get shirts in bulk that wont break the bank to get me started. I dont mind learning how to use my sewing machine but I need some advice because I really dont wan't to waste anymore time. I have fresh ideas in my head, I need to get to work :3

Maybe you should go talk to a local seamstress and get a couple of your designs made. You can learn how to use your sewing machine better online, try youtube for sewing lessons. If it is more your specific sewing machine and not actual sewing techniques you need help with then look up the make and model of your machine on youtube and other print websites.
