We had just sent a follow-up email to one of our customers that we had printed family reunion t-shirts for and received this reply that we wanted to share with you:

“blake — nice to hear from you.  i’d been meaning to get back to you on the shirts you all did for our family reunion.  FABULOUS!  the quality of the T was great — nice & hefty … not wimpy!  the design was awesome — the shirts looked TERRIFIC! … and they’re wearing nicely.  everyone loved them — they were a big, BIG hit!  they arrived just in time.  i greatly appreciate all you did to push our order thru and make the reunion extra special. thanks for a job well done!

Sally Carter Lee” 

Thank you very much for that Sally. You made our day.

It is not uncommon for us to receive a phone call at the last minute with someone being worried about being able to receive their custom printed T-shirts in time for a special event. In fact, this situation happens to us at least three times a week. We know that there are many reasons of why an order is placed at the last minute, and most times it is out of your hands. This is when You Design It can help you out most.

We offer three different options to rush deliver your custom apparel. They are:

1. ASAP - Guaranteed in 3 Business Days (40-50% upcharge)
2. Express - Guaranteed in 6 Business Days (20-30% upcharge)
3. Standard - Guaranteed in 10 Business Days (free shipping)

The reason why we offer these rushed options isn’t for profit, but more to help you out when you’re in a bind. We feel like this is one of the best times to prove ourselves as your T-shirt printer.

However, we don’t offer these options at checkout because we would much rather hear from you to see just how low we can charge for the rush and just how fast we can deliver. Please contact us after you place your order for rush custom t-shirts and we will make it happen!

We don’t have camouflage t-shirts on the site but that doesn’t mean that we can’t get them. We got a phone call from a customer asking if we could get purple camouflage t-shirts for his daughter Britney’s Walk for a Cure. We weren’t sure if we could and then we found them. Since they were new to us we provided his artwork to him in two colors so he could choose which one he wanted. Here is how the artwork was sent as the digital proof:

Please let us know if you have a special request for a product that you don’t see on You Design It.

Getting custom t-shirts for your FFA group anywhere else doesn’t make any sense. We were given a few parameters with the t-shirt design and that included farm animals and the state of Texas. The tee shirt print was kept simple and funny and here is what we did:

The group had a sense of humor and they are the ones who came up with the phrase “These Are My People”. Get your custom FFA t shirts printed at You Design It.

There are many ways to accomplish getting the distressed T-shirt printed look on your t-shirt designs.  The easiest way we have found to do it is by having four different preset distressed filters that we lay on top of any design and match it to the color of the background. You have to be very selective when you choose the level of distressing for the custom printed t-shirts, because it can sometimes wipe out the overall design or text being printed on the tee.  To illustrate our four different levels of distress, we first are going to start out with a simple design of a star:

Here’s the same star with our “small” distressed filter:

This is with the “medium” distressed filter:

Here it is with the “large” distressed filter:

The last one we use is a “very fine” distressed filter:

These filters can be combined, used by themselves, or even rotated to all provide a different look depending on the T-shirt artwork. Please let us know if you would like to use one of our distressed builders on your next screen printed t-shirts project.

Would you wanted to share with you guys another piece of custom T-shirt artwork that we designed in-house.  This is just another one of those fun templates we create and are glad to reuse for any customers that want to.  The theme behind this one is how the tree has roots that are growing like crazy.  We put the word “Grow” on there as a reminder to us to continue getting better and providing our customers with the best possible custom T-shirts and apparel printing.

Please contact us if you’d like to use this design for your next custom printed T-shirts project:
