Heat Press Vinyl Hoodies

This was a quick project I did for the Bluegrass band I'm in, Lonesome Lost & Foggy. I wanted to make each of the band members a hoodie that they could wear at gigs or just around to help with band promotion. Since their are only 4 of us, it wouldn't have worked out to do a run at our favorite silk screening shop, Common Wealth Press, so I took the TechShop route and purchased 4 feet of heat press vinyl (ThermoFlex Plus). The heat press at TechShop ended up being a cost effective and fast way to make the hoodies. 

The process is fairly quick. Cut your designs out on the vinyl cutter, weed out the excess vinyl. Make sure your design is backwards or reversed on the heat press vinyl as you will be placing it face down on the article of clothing. I adjusted the base temp up to 376 F and did 2 cycles of 30 seconds. The important thing is to let it cool briefly before trying to pull the clear transfer paper away. All in all was able to make a custom hoodie for ~$15 and 30 min. of time.  So far after about 2 weeks of time they are all holding up pretty good!

    I am a maker at heart and electronics enthusiast. Many of my projects are created out of necessity for the item, or out of a modification of existing things I have!
