Mix Tape Hoodie!

[I Hate Your A Face]

I made this with iron on transfer crayons and a plain, white hoodie.
I got design from threadless.

[pixiewhip]

Ooo. Please explain about transfer crayons.  The shirt is wicked cute.

[sugarhandgrenade]

Aren't transfer crayons just like regular crayons? You just draw a picture and then iron it on like any other transfer? Maybe I'm wrong...

[Liberty23]

Here's a link to a transfer crayon product, I just ordered some and I'm glad to see how they work out in real life.

Hope the link is stable, if not you can froggle transfer crayon to get an idea of what they are.

[I Hate Your A Face]

Superhandgrenade is correct.

I colored over the picture, just as you would if you were using regular crayons, then I followed the directions on the back of the pack. Iron it on for a couple seconds and VIOLA!

I found my crayons at Target by the sewing machines for about $1.50.

Not too shabby!

[urockmysox]

OMG...lol , I used that design too...on a turquoise t-shirt, that I might have posted somewhere on this site. That is crazy. I love the hoodie!!

[knitster88]

wow i really really want this. i think itd be cute on a skirt with some funky leg warmers.

[itsmartinitime]

crayola do some fabric transfer crayons too! They are called crayola fabric or fabricrayons or something  I haven't used them, but they only cost £1.28 in england, and are supposed to give good,bright and longlasting colour!

[sleepy girl]

[pelibem3]

i really like it!

[gypsysoul3]

oh, i love it!
what a great choice in picture and colors!


i'm gonna have to try to find some transfer crayons when i'm back on the mainland, b/c here in hawaii our craft supply stores finda suck.

[bedhairbandit]

i love the design. just as much as i love threadless 

[theoffkeybandit]

[bonbonknits]

Very awesome indeed.

Can someone please tell me about Threadless?

[bedhairbandit]

threadless.com.

its a t-shirt company.
well, online.

graphic artists have a chance to design t-shirts and people get to vote if they would like it printed or NOT.
its fantastic, and very snazzy if i do saw so myself. 

i encourage everyone to go there.

[bonbonknits]

thanks ! i get it now.  now i love threadless too.

[NotASingleTear]

Oooh I just found transfer crayons in my mums old sewing box, they don't show up to well on colored fabric though.
Love the hoodie!

[stargazer]

I really like that image but I can't find it!   
Can someone help this newbie out?

[kare.bear]

[bedhairbandit]

HEY HEY HEY!

im finally in the mainland and i went to target.
and I DIDNT FIND THEM.

i was soo discouraged. but i love target (we dont have it in hawaii).
so any clues/hints. it would be greatly apprechiated.

please please please.

[I Hate Your A Face]

I found them in the home section, I suppose. It was a good while ago. They were right by the sewing machines.

[bedhairbandit]

actually, i got them today. i got singer brand. tiny.
and also crayola ones at the craft store.

i didnnt know that they were meant for synthetic materials.
now i gotta check all of my clothes in my closet.

[Greendaybabe1223]

very cute

[requestpending]

Okay...I have to admit that I totally adore this hoodie! Make me one, lol.  I really would buy one from you! Great job  !

[lucydenyes]

I love the colors you used!

[Wherearethepharmacists]

It looks really good. Threadless rocks.

[gypsysoul3]

so, i really love this picture...and i love to mix tape.....so i printed it out and made it an embroidery pattern. I made a few embroidered tape patches, and finally got around to making a tank top, inspired by your hoodie and the threadless one....

i embroidered the tape onto fabric, and basically made it into a patch, then, "splatter painted" (only the top half of) the tank top, then sewed on the patch.

the picture is bad b/c i had to use my phone...but you get the idea.

[ILiveForJesus]

but what is the design called?

[jaami]

not to be mean, but you do realize that you're ripping off other people's hard work?
threadless doesn't just have jo-shmo graphic designer doing their work - a lot of stuff is by great designers who enter threadless in the first place to NOT be ripped off and to get their work out there. before you take somene's idea and make it "your own" you might want to check with them first. it'll save you possibly getting in trouble in the long run.

[I Hate Your A Face]

Jaami,
Because I made a version of the design copyrighted for my own personal use, I am not infringing on any copyright laws. If I was selling it, that would be a different story. My father is a well-known professional photographer. Believe me, I am well versed in the areas of copyrights and their infringements.

Plus, "Imitation is the finest form of flattery!"

Thanks for your time.

[gypsysoul3]

i feel the same way. though i did make mine different so that it wouldn't be completely "infringing" on someone elses work.
i mean, i'm not selling the shirt i made, it's just for me.

just a question, (and i mean this seriously, not to be a jerk or anything and i don't want to hijack this thread), but what's the difference between doing this and and a stencil, or creating your own "knock-off" designer skirt, or turning pictures into knitting or embroidery patterns? or is this all the same?

thanks!

[ILiveForJesus]

But What is the design called?

[I Hate Your A Face]

I think it's called Broadband Deluxe

[vintage_x]

okay i probably sound realyl stupid but i dont get itlike you drew that mix tape thing?

[ILiveForJesus]

okay i just found it! it is called blandband deluxe
