So I know this isn’t exactly a win, but honestly… sometimes you just gotta laugh at yourself. I ordered new glasses because my prescription changed by a quarter. A quarter. I’m nearsighted, and apparently that tiny little upgrade was the difference between “competent adult” and “why is everything crooked.” I was making Mother’s Day shirts for my friend, using my trusty shirt ruler like a professional, and still managed to mess up two of her crewnecks. Perfectly slanted. Boldly diagonal. Avant‑garde fashion no one asked for. Luckily she’s a good friend and doesn’t care because I always replace anything I mess up and will be sent out later tonight and arrive before mother days of course. After the second disaster, I just looked at my husband and said, “Yeah… I’m putting my store on vacation mode until these new glasses arrive.” Temporary retirement for public safety. And the funniest part? This isn’t even new behavior. In high school, my social teacher couldn’t mark me wrong because my map of Canadian cities was so consistently off by exactly an inch that it technically counted as correct. I passed because I was predictably wrong. Honestly, iconic.her response to me back then was Shelby, do you need new glasses lmao.

The three patches I was planning to start with are: a game‑day design that works for baseball, football, or general use; a graduation patch for “Senior 2026”; and a “mama”‑themed patch that isn’t tied specifically to Mother’s Day. I’m definitely on board with using Alibaba since it’s much cheaper while still offering the same—or better—quality. The photos are just to show an idea not finished product and might do make up bags with names just cause those are easy to do.. first order will be thru Etsy but being fully designed and customized thru custom order. Then hopefully going thru Alibaba for larger quantities.

This is just for personal use—I’m not selling crewnecks with “wifey.” I did look into it, though, and as long as I’m not copying a trademarked style and create my own design but looks like wifey on apparel has been abandoned. Making my sister a mama & mini for Mother’s Day just to get the hang of it as they do require higher temp and longer press.
