How to Place a design on a t-shirt using Gimp?

Hi Warriors,

I have a friend who needs a web site and I'm trying to help him out

He is trying to raise money for a friend with MS, so I thought I would
try and help him out. He is short on funds, so I am doing this for him
for free.

He made up about 35 designs that he will place on t-shirts and sell
them from his site.

I have someone from the WF that will do the site, but what is needed
from me is to put the actual design on the shirt.

Was told that I can use Gimp to do this, but don't know where to start.
Tried going to Youtube to find a video, but nothing related to what I
need to do. Maybe I missed it.

If someone can tell me how to do this it will be greatly appreciated.

He has eight different garment types so I would have to do this
280 times.

Don't mind doing the work for him, but not really sure how to do it.

Thank you and have a great day Warriors

Mike

    Hi,

    Well if you already have the pictures all you have to do is to print them on transfer paper... But print them mirrored because the picture will be inverted when you transfer it from the paper to the t-shirt. I've done that long ago, that's paper that goes into any inkjet printer and if memory serves me right you'll need a flatiron (to actually make the transfer) and some white vinegar (to bathe the t-shirt into a solution water vinegar once you've transferred the picture). That's if this technology hasn't evolved, I've done this over 10 years ago.

      Hi OldLodgeSkins,

      Sorry, I may have asked the question incorrectly.

      The designs will be screen printed on the t-shirts.

      I have the designs on my desktop in folders. The person
      doing the site for me told me that I have to put the designs
      on a generated t-shirt using a program such as Gimp

      If someone can point me to a video or tutorial on how this
      is done, I will take the time to do them myself.

      Probably something I should learn to do anyway

      Thank you

    Lol ok all you need is a picture of a t-shirt with your design on it?
    That's easy.
    Have a look at my signature. I'm currently launching a new online teaching service - it's live teaching, not videos - you'd learn to do that with my graphics design basic course. Which uses Gimp by the way. The first hour is free in exchange for a review.
