Here's the thing: it is from when I was a child in Germany. Having no scanner, I called a shirt shop and asked them about it. EGADS. They wanted over $100 to put the graphic on a shirt (scanning, cleaning up the image, etc.). NO DEAL.
So I utilized my education as follows:
Photographed said shirt.
Pulled image into photoshop, adjusted perspective (so the graphic wasn't askew).
Adjusted contrast, color, rubberstamped some abnormalities.
Cropped.
Flipped new image on its axis (so it would print correctly).
Printed.
Ironed.
Ironed again (didn't stick the first time.
AND voila! Shirt done. It looks fabulous and I'm thinking about making ones for other days of the week. (marvelous monday, anyone?)
Let me know if you want one of your very own. I have a spare I made to practice, size small :) I'll send it your way.
p.s. Yes, he likes to ski.
p.p.s. I kinda wanna use the money I saved to get him another little gift. Permission, please.

this was actually my shirt first of all. dad and i did a skiing class together on wednesdays in germany. it has been worn by all the sibs and now on to the next generation!
thanks for the clarification, I knew that but I thought it was a lot to explain. Does a men's size small shirt fit you? Cause I'll happily send you the other one I made :)
