Well friend, another week of summer has flown by. Where does the time go?! I started a new project but it’s going to take me forever, so don’t expect to hear about that until next June. Okay I’m being a bit down on myself, hopefully it will only take me a month…
We had all sorts of plans for this weekend to go into Boston and see my friend Cathy but due to weather and delayed flights things ended up getting cancelled! On the bright side, my siblings are in town so we got to see everyone Sunday and we will get to spend time with everyone this week where my sister has lots of fun things planned. I’m excited for a vacation. To be honest, after two red eyes last weekend I’m just ready for some sleep.
The kids slept in so late this morning that I had to wake them up at 8am! Which is when we normally go to school! They were both very good though and got themselves dressed and ate a quick breakfast (mostly) without complaints! Wait, did I tell you that Julius has been making himself breakfast?! A few times now he’s gotten up and made himself peanut butter toast and Eggo waffles for breakfast. I’m impressed. Did I mention how they are growing up too fast?!
Speaking of growing up too fast, I bought a bunch of blank sublimation friendly shirts for the kids, and am so far behind on life that the kids had already outgrown them. I made them some shirts anyway and figured they could wear them a couple times at least. Julius and I wore ours to the Bolton pride festival, which was a fun time. Now you can make your own pride shirts! This heart design is heavily inspired by the original 8 stripe pride flag from the early seventies. 
Pride Shirt
You’ll need:
- Sublimation-friendly shirt (50% polyester or greater)
- Sublimation printer, ink and paper
- parchment paper
- a heat press
- the pattern here
First, print your design on sublimation paper using your favorite method. I have a sawgrass printer to I use the sawgrass studio to import my png, then place it on a shirt and print it.
Next you should follow the instructions on the below post to sublimate the design onto your shirt! Then you can wear with pride!
What’s not to love?
