direct to garment fundraiser
Submitted by Steve on Thursday, 13 November 20082 Comments
As a fundraising idea for schools direct to garment printed T shirts are never going to compete with the fundraising tea towel, especially in the current climate, parents will not appreciate being asked to fork out for a more expensive item. But we have had requests and some orders, as pictured above. Childrens drawings always benefit from a little boost in colour and contrast before printing, scanning the images does not have to be too time consuming if done at a sensible resolution. For now though, we plod on with the old favourite. The tea towel is still the most effective school fundraiser available with demand growing every year.


Isn’t that a character from Sponge Bob Square Pants in the center?
You had many requests for woolly hat embroidery? Or is it just screen printing tea towels all winter again?

November is another rush on tea towel printing, with more and more art packs returned everyday, we live in fear of the postman, Julian is tormented by all the childrens portraits looking out from the computer screen all day long.
