My friend told me about the retail clothing store Uniqlo coming to South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA. The store is a Japanese clothing retailer that makes clothing for women, men, and children. They have this awesome program on iPads where you can make your own t-shirt (UTme!). You can draw, download a picture, add wording in, and then use different features such as splash, glitch, and mosaic. It's super cool, so I went yesterday to check it out. There wasn't a line, and I had the most helpful sales associate help me with the programming. Her name is Lenne and she's a fashion merchandising student at California State University, Long Beach. I think we spent almost 35 minutes playing with my blog header. We worked on fading my blog header into the background using another color palette, cropped the borders, and used the "splash" function while trying to keep the integrity of the "Fashlete" heading. I couldn't have made my shirt without her awesome help!
It wasn't the easiest task, and after playing with my header for awhile I decided to keep it clean and add just a little splash. We saved my header, I picked out a white t-shirt size, and it was sent to print. I was then given a slip of paper so I could come back to claim my t-shirt. It only took about 10 -15 minutes, and voila my t-shirt was done. It turned out a bit darker than I wanted and we couldn't get rid of the gray line at the top due to the actual cut and paste of my header. I still love it though, and now I can sport my blog header on my own t-shirt! The total cost for me was $24.73 and that includes tax. It's a super fun process, and is a great way to sport your own unique design. It also would be a great gift to give to someone or it would be fun to do with a group of friends.
