My Daisy shirts

[CoriBug]

I operate 3 embroidery machines at work, so we get to embroider for ourselves and friends/family. I've been wanting to embroider Daisy's name on a couple shirts for my mom and I when we go to GTGs. I got this idea from Dede and Rob at the Round Up last year. So finally I chose a T shirt color(royal blue to match Daisy), we got it in, I digitized my design with help from a coworker and I sewed it!! YAY!

Here's a pic. The shirt is really a bright blue, just like blue lagoon.

Great idea! Lucky that you work somehwere that you can do that!

I embroidered the shirts this month because I'm not sure when I'm leaving this job. I wish I had a portable machine because I could sew shirts for all the Beetlers at GTGs. One of our wholesale suppliers sells Gildan T shirts and they have every single shade of every color you can think of. My mom has a Daisy shirt like mine.

Those are really cute I love the floral design dainty and pretty prob just like your baby

Daisy can be dainty but usually she's a tough little mama!! She is pretty of course! My coworker Holly thought to make all the letters lowercase. She's an artist so she thinks of little details like that. Me, I draw stick figures. Thanks for the kind words. I will have my mom take a pic of me with the shirt and Daisy tomorrow.

I wonder how I could do that for Loco

Find an embroidery shop in your area. Some will only let you embroider what you order from them, like we do. There's a chance of the shop making a mistake while embroidering it and they can reorder easily if it's their apparel. They will probably charge you a 'digitizing fee', which covers the time it takes to make your design 'sewable'. We usually charge $30-40, but for a little design like mine, we would probably charge less. If you already have a design in mind, you can email it, fax it, snail mail it or hand deliver. Like I said, our wholesalers have thousands of shirts available and you can pick from lots of different colors. My shirt is a Gildan, which is average on the quality scale. I ordered a ladies cut so it looks a little nicer. Hanes and Fruit of the Loom are our best T shirt brands, but they didn't have 'royal blue' in a ladies.

Sorry for the essay - but if you want personalized shirts, you can order them fairly easily. Dede and Rob have red shirts with little peppers.
