HA! Well thank you!
I’m still too green to invest on. Seriously, this is ridiculous, but I’m still spinning in circles around these size charts and patterns I’m trying to develop. It’s T-SHIRTS for God’s sake!

But I wanted my own patterns because I wanted them to fit on children like I like them fitting on my kid (I hate it when a shirt labeled X stops fitting 3 months before age X is reached), and I wanted to be able to modify them a little bit for little girls. But this is a much harder exercise than I expected. I’m about to throw the towel and just draft patterns for each size from existing shirts and forget about the whole idea of making them cohesive as a line. Just for now. Just so I can get these shirts I want to make out the door, and then really dedicate myself to this task without the urge to move on to the fun stuff.

Maria – I think you’ve got one hell of an idea there with the custom artwork tees. What a simply wonderful and precious thing to be able to provide. One of those, “Why didn’t I think of that?” situations for sure. I wish you the best of luck with these new opportunities. :) I wish I had some spare cash to invest in you.

Apologies to all three of you for taking so long to reply (you may not even read this comment now, but just in case)…

Thank you for your comments. My project has been horribly derailed by the discovery of U.S. standard measurements for children’s bodies, that made me feel I needed to look at in order to make sure my patterns fit the average kid out there and not just Joaquin. ARRRRGGH!!!! I’m so sick of staring at these numbers and running spreadsheets. I want to make… MAKE!…

That’s utterly brilliant putting his artwork on the shirt. You’ll make a mint.

Best of luck!! You are so darned creative! :)

(also, nice to see you are making good use of that calculator from b-school! ;0P)

Good luck on your venture.

Joaquin is getting so big.
