daughter decides she needs more gas $

So she's making and (trying to) sell tie-dye t-shirts.

Here's a few - and yes, custom colors, etc. are available.

Thanks for looking!

The custom t-shirt is sold. I was not able to add another one. I'm not to familiar with Etsy, but can she change that option? I'm sure she would sell many of the custom shirts.

She could do some with dancing teddy bears on them, if she does not mind being paid in magic mushrooms.

Doing some in the Gator colors would be a hot item....sans the gator. I still have plenty of old tie dyes....my hippy jam band uniform from daze gone by . Several years ago, Wake Forest sold yellow and black tie dyes one year...it was cool to see the whole arena full of tie dyed bumblebees...she should think about this...seriously!

I think I'll order one anyways...but I tend to wear camo these daze instead...

Thanks Gang! She's working on a bunch of shirts her friends at school and my coworkers ordered and has put extra "custom" choices on the etsy site.

Sourcing the high(er) quality plain white 100% cotton clothes at a reasonable price is the hard part. She spends close to an hour on each shirt, done in a batch process (so actually 4 hours but she does 4 shirts at once) so getting her labor/skill money (her profit) needs to be balanced against cost of original item(s), dyes, etc and what a reasonable retail price is.

Despite our disagreements in Parf, I'm going to help with that sourcing.
See Manufacturers, Suppliers, Exporters & Importers from the world's largest online B2B marketplace-Alibaba.com

Plain white T shirts by the zillions.

She should pitch these to a Canadian company called Bank & Vogue. They are way into repurposing clothing and have a number of stores called Beyond Retro throughout Europe. They purchase millions of pounds of used clothing from my company annually. PM me if you want an introduction.

I;m not familiar with the Etsy site. Are these unique shirts that have been made and are ready for sale, or these representative styles that can be ordered on any shirt? I like the green Bullseye shirt, but I need an xxl to sleep in. It's listed as an M. I am a buyer if I can figure out the store.

You have crappy taste. That is obviously the flag of liberalism, you pinko commie pervert. I hope you put that on and get beaten up by neighborhood Nazi gangs roaming the streets looking for elitists,Lesbiterions, and somnambulists to whoop up on.
Wait .... this IS PARF, right?
