I recently bought a Silhouette Cutter. Stephen was all about it, he has all of these ideas for Alabama shirts and Christmas gift ideas.
I have only played with a couple of features but so far it is pretty awesome.
The first thing I got is their tshirt starter kit. It comes with stencil vinyl and fabric ink. You design your project (or download an image), cut it out in the stencil, stick it on the fabric, then use the included sponge to dab on the fabric ink. When it dries it is a lot like silk screened shirts. I like that I can control the amount of ink so it can have more of a “vintage” feel, there is just a lot of control with this process.
I of course made some Alabama shirts for us to wear and support the team! Stephen loves his shirt.
Here is mine, just a red “A” that is worn all over!
I am going to make some Christmas presents with this thing. I have had some shirt ideas for a while and thought for my little sister I wanted to do something with horses since she loves them so much. So I made this.

I used the flocked heat transfer vinyl. It is iron on vinyl but the flocked material is soft and doesn’t feel or look like regular heat transfer vinyl. I can’t wait until Christmas to give it to her!
I am excited to see what else I can make with this thing!
