My new shirt

**tuscarora dave** · 07-15-2010, 12:39 AM

I spent the last few hours making this shirt up. I have a friend who get`s his shirts made up and next time he orders shirts we are going to double the order (his and mine) to get the discount but until then here is the best I could pull off. Everything came from Walmart to make this. Here are a few pics.
Thanks for looking, TD

I made it with one of these kits.

Looks pretty nice for a home job.

I don`t like the quotations around the word mobile, though. Sort of a pet peeve...

And out of curiosity, what`s the meaning/origin behind the `Tuscarora?` Perhaps it`s something I missed or a regional thing or something. Just curious...

Looks good Dave.. only thing i would change on the back is move the "Auto Detailing" over to the right some.. it doesn`t look perfectly centered to me.

He lives near and has fallen down Tuscarora Mountain in Pennsylvania...

Dave, I think the shirt turned out very nicely for a do it yourself job.

I do this all the time and I don`t like the fact I do it either. Keyboards have ruined any skills I possessed as a writer. I couldn`t spell myself through a 1st grade spelling bee anymore.

It also ruined your grasp on grammar

I caught that myself before your post hit but you are right none the less.

Do i win a prize?

**Beemerboy** · 07-15-2010, 09:20 AM

For a home job it looks great

For me less is more so I would drop the "mobile" and "ask me for a business card"

Yes, yes you do. Dave, could you send one of your shirts to Gus right away?

**Bunky** · 07-15-2010, 10:26 AM

Yes, I want to win a TD t-shirt....oh, is this not a contest?

My problem with none embroidery is the print gets hot and changes differently than the material isnt on. Also use high quality, mostly cotton shirts to do this. Dave knows I where carhardt shirts that are embroidered, as does Steve. Quality will last 2-3 times onger than a Walmart or farm store shirt will. The cheaper shirts fall apart versus the Carhardt last and just get quite stained after a couple years.

Hey Dave take a look at this

**tuscarora dave** · 07-15-2010, 11:30 AM

Thanks for your opinions and suggestions guys. The guy that makes the shirts up for my buddy does a much nicer job and they are silk screened. It will all come together eventually.

That looks nice but where`s the pocket for my Camels? I would have that white shirt stained and dirty in less than one hour. I can not even wear a white shirt to a dinner and movie without ruining it.
