Personalized Portrait Shirts

The2SistersShoppe has a unique new item. We now make personalized shirts from photos that you send us.

Here's how it works:

1. Email us a photo (you can also send it to us in the mail if you do not have an electronic version of it)

We scanned this photo into our computer

2. Prepare the photo for the screen. All images need to be black and white in order to put them on the screen for screen printing.

The dark background was removed from the picture

Then the picture was changed to black and white

3. Make the screen. The screen is prepped with emulsion then dried. The photo is printed onto a transparency film and laid on the dry screen. The screen is hit with special light and all the black spots on the transparency will wash out. So the black parts of the picture are the parts that the ink will go through

4. The screen is blasted with water then dried.

5. The screen is flooded with ink and placed on the shirt. We then squeegee over the screen to get the ink on the shirt. The ink is heat set and the shirt is done.

This shirt was made from a copy of a photo from 1980. Newer photos will have more detail. Also, the brighter & better quality the photo the better the screen.

Printable Coupons For JoAnn's

Found some great printable coupons here for JoAnn's. Scroll to the bottom and there is one for 20% off your entire purchase, including sales items. Just thought I would share with all my readers, since most of you are fellow etsians and cutting costs on supplies is top priority.

Also, just in case you did not know, you can use more than one coupon at a time. They may say only one per customer, but they are referring to only one of that specific coupon. If you have a 40% off one item, a 50% off one item, and a 20% off entire order, you can use them all. We saved about $40 the other day using 5 coupons.

What's In Store For the Future

We are still in the long tedious process of making ourselves into what we hope to become in the future. Our goal for the shop is to be a place where people can come and get top quality, hand crafted merchandise at reasonable rates. Not only that, but we want our shop to be the shop where you can get all your gifts. We are continually adding new lines/items to our store. When Christmas comes around, we want you to be able to get all your holiday shopping done at our store. We are 2 very unique individuals that love a variety of things. We think of something we would want and we make it, then think, huh, we should sell these.

Why stick to one item, when people need and want so much more.

One of newest lines we are starting to roll out is our travel line. As of now it consists of handmade fabric passport holders. However I am working on the pattern for a passport/card/tickets/etc. holder with a zipper closure. Hopefully the first one of these will be up in the next couple of days. Below are examples of our passport holders.

These are all fun and original.  We hope you like them and, as always welcome any suggestions on these items or items you would like to see in our store.

Thanks for visiting us.

UPDATE (3/18/11)

The passport holders are getting good response. I have not yet finished the design for the travel case. I cannot get it just right. Sorry for the delay. Hopefully soon I will be able to nail down a pattern that I am happy with.

As always thank you for visiting us.
