I just want to give a little review on my SP stuff that came today…

The sweatshirt runs REALLY big. I ordered the xxl, and it is ginormous. I am hoping it will shrink a little…

The plus womens tshirt is awesome. It is the perfect length (I hate all the new super long tees, they look horrible on my shape) and a great thickness. Someone up the thread said they are really thin, which may be true of the white shirts, but the black one is perfect.

And as soon as it dries up outside, I will put my tiny pants bumper sticker on!

Oh huh, I would have figured that was too in-your-face for folks to want on a shirt. Cool. That should be easy enough to do.

I really really really want FAT =/= BAD on a shirt. Really really. I’m so sad it’s only on a bumper sticker.

I’d kind of like to see a “cognitive dissonance” section, with shirts that say things like “Salad Is Outstanding!” and “I (Heart) Vegetables” in the plus sizes, though I kind of suspsect the people who wear them would hear the “LIAR!” line everywhere they went.

Yayyy I’m so excited. =D

I just did an order from Cafepress last week so I’m going to wait until that stuff comes in to make sure I’m ordering the right size.

But this is totally the highlight of my life.

Wow, the designs are totally amazing, even if I’m late to the party. I totally just bought a fat club sweatshirt.

Me so happy!

for the DIY fan, if you’ve got an ink jet printer (or access to one), you can buy t-shirt transfer paper at craft or office stores, mirror image the design, print it on the special paper and iron it on. i’ve done it a couple of times and it’s pretty easy. the things to watch out for are that unless you cut away the paper from the white areas you wind up with a block of almost clear ink texture around the design. and you can’t make the design bigger than 8.5 x 11. still, you can get a pack for less than the cost of a tee from cafe press.

Oh, but I can’t do Fat Club on black at the mo, sorry. The design doesn’t work in white on black. A white circle with the logo in it on black might happen eventually.

I can do a kid-safe version of Fat Club. (Again, probably not right away… shit is fierce at work, and not in a Christian from Project Runway way.)

*Delurking from somewhere in the mid-1970′s*

Are iron-on transfers still in existence (or some modern equivalent that you kids thesedays use)? As an o/s Shapeling, it would be a hell of a lot easier for me to purchase something I could use to make my own (much-admired, I’m sure) activist gear, rather than worrying about Customs and whether any tee I order would fit or not. (I’m not overly keen on the cut of the tees available at the mo.)

Looooove the Tiny Pants design. Want to own it on anything and everything – mugs, buttons, stickers, shirts that show off mah kurves – everything.

Great job, FJ!
