Handmade FAQ

last edited 06/01/2012

About the Shirts & Hoodies

  • All of these shirts are handmade, this means I print, cut, and put all these designs onto the shirts. 
  • I purchase the shirts & hoodies at my local mall so there isn’t specific place I can direct you to buy them. (I’d say american apparel is your best shot if you can’t find cheap ones at your local warehouse stores.)
  • I also get the transfer papers at my local stationary and crafts store. (They’re about $3 each and I get them as a pack.)
  • I will not be selling any hoodies or tshirt unless stated otherwise. 
  • All the hoodie sizes have been stated in the posts but they are usually a girl M sized if not stated.

Materials I use to make the shirts
All you need is really the following things and you’re good to go:

  • the right t-shirt transfer paper (dark or light fabric)
  • an ink-jet printer
  • scissors
  • a pair of hands 
  • iron 

Disclaimer

  I don’t own the logo’s that I put on the shirts and therefore I don’t sell them for profit. This is for personal/gift use only! 

FAQ

  1. Would you mind making a video tutorial on how to make your infinite hoodies? 
    Sure! I don’t mind, but you’ll have to give me some time as I’m busy with school. Just because I have time to tumblr doesn’t mean I have enough time and should be making the video. 
  2. Why don’t you sell your hoodies? You could make a lot of money with it!
    First off, I do not want to profit in any way by stealing someone’s logo. I don’t want Woolim to hound on me for infringing their logo and go to jail either! (As much as I would see Infinite.) Secondly, I don’t wish to profit off the boys, they work hard enough. 
  3. If you don’t plan on selling your hoodies why make them?
    Because I tried making my own Hoya hoodie and it turned out nice and when I was buying the first hoodie I had to buy 2 to get a cheaper price so I bought a pink one (Sungyeol’s) and if I made 2/7 I might as well make the other 5. And what in the world would I do with 7 hoodies? (As much as wearing one a day sounds great … no thanks LOL)
  4. Do you plan on sending your hoodies to the boys?
    Oh! I would if I could. But unfortunately I don’t have any connections to Woolim or anything and to mail a batch of hoodies is probably the most dangerous thing to do. And I’m sure other people have sent them handmade goods. (I’ve seen L wear their First Invasion logo on a black hoodie before.) However; if you secretly have some crazy connection and want to send customized hoodies to the boys (infinite or any other group) I wouldn’t mind helping you out. Whether that be showing you how to do it, or doing it for you.
  5. What about other bands, have you made hoodies for other groups?
    I have! I’ve made a b2st one for my friend. Click Here! 
  6. How much did it cost for you to make a hoodie? 
    The break down of the prices would be about $12-25 (depending on where and the quality and the colour) for a hoodie and then $3 for 1 sheet of transfer paper (fits the whole shirt design.) So prices range from $15-28.  
  7. Can I have your design you put on the hoodies?
    I’ve seldom given that out, and only to close friends because I don’t want to be responsible for any finger pointing if someone does end up selling hoodies and getting in trouble with Woolim (highly unlikely but you never know), therefore I will give it out only upon request. However; all you have to do is vector their logo’s from an album scan on Illustrator and then either do an outline or an entire colour fill and the text I use is Arial Bold. 
  8. Can I buy a plain shirt or hoodie from you? 
    Sorry, but no. If I can find these shirts & hoodies then so can you. At first it takes a while to find them but once you’ve found that one store you’ll never regret it. I can recommend you go to these stores likes American Apparel, Claire’s, Ardene’s, Old Navy, Target, Winners, and Walmart.   
  9. If you can’t find your questions answered try checking my FAQQ tag for answered questions before you ask! 

Finally, if you have any questions about my hoodies/handmade goods and you’ve thoroughly read the FAQ, don’t be afraid to message me. I don’t get agitated easily ^^;
