Ive come up with some sick shirt designs, and i would love to know how could make then into apparel items (shirts, hats, hoodies etc.) if there is any way i could make these sort of custom items for a rather cheap price, that would be awsome, i am looking into getting a job to fund this, so i could then fund painting custom guitars (DA CUSTOMS). any tips or good answers or any answer at all would be much, much appreciated :).--Answer1:if you want to manufacture any thing you have to find a company who makes a similar thing that you can sub contract to have them do it for you (you pay them) on piece work what they do they get paid for all before you even show a sample. Or you buy a sewing machine and learn how to cut patterns and sew. You make a couple of samples and sell them to a shop and start making more so when the shop calls and says they want more you are already knocking them out and ready to ship. you take all your designs in small and large sizes and rent a booth at all the big garment trade shows and you sell your goods to the buyers of retail stores and chains who come to the show to fill their racks with either what you got or what someone else has got. if you want your designs silk screened I would take a class first then get a job working for a fast paced shop close to home and learn how to do it all and after hours work on your stuff.
