As a present (largely funded by a generous client of mine) I got Jill a bunch of equipment to realize a dream of hers – to make shirts and other items with designs on them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lots of research, I decided on vinyl and the following equipment. I surprised her all at once with it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s actually turned out to be quite a joint hobby. I’ve been fairly good with learning new programs like Inkscape for the cutter, and Jill is far more artistic in other ways, including the application part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been quite easy to find free graphics and watch tutorials on how to do tricky things, although finding cutting software that worked well and was compatible with Linux wasn’t easy at first. I’ve settled on Inkcut, which has worked very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jill is keen to turn this into a business, so if you have ideas for a t-shirt or other clothing, we may be able to make it happen. Here’s some of our designs so far:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
