The Beginning
Starting a family in early 2007 brought the idea of Doodle Duds to life. Parenting gives you so many funny, enlightening and downright thought-provoking moments. I’m not quite sure why, but for me the daily experiences of motherhood lead to creative design ideas. I had so many “Ah, that would be GREAT on a t-shirt” moments that I finally decided “Well, why not put it on a t-shirt then!” That thought along with also wanting to create fun, whimsical personalized designs gave me the inspiration to start this little t-shirt design business I call Doodle Duds. I hope you enjoy the designs as much as I have enjoyed bringing them to life!
The Process
My designs are printed using digital garment technology. I cannot rave enough about it because the designs are printed directly onto the garment and the ink is embedded in the fabric for ultimate wearable comfort. The result is a soft look and feel and fantastic wash-ability!
My baby bibs and dog t-shirts are printed using the heat transfer method. You can actually feel the print on the surface of the garment with heat transfer until you wash it, then it has the same softness as the products that are printed digitally.
I’m super busy being a mom and t-shirt designer so I’ve learned to delegate! My printing, inventory of products, secure payment processing and shipping of items are managed through CafePress. Working with CafePress allows me to offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all of my products, so you can be sure to have a risk-free shopping experience at Doodle Duds.
The Future
My designs generally start off as a doodle on paper and eventually make their way to the design desk. I have many designs in the works and I promise to add new designs regularly, so be sure to bookmark Doodle Duds and check back often!
