Preserve the Original Character
We retain the expressive lines, unusual proportions, colours, and little imperfections that make the drawing special.

Why families choose it
A Drawing Worth Keeping Close
Children create hundreds of drawings, but a few become part of the family story. Instead of leaving a favourite picture on the fridge or storing it in a box, turn it into a wearable keepsake for the child, a parent, or someone who loves them.
Give a Truly Personal Gift
Create a meaningful shirt for parents, grandparents, birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or family celebrations.
Let Them Wear Their Imagination
Children get to proudly wear something they created themselves, instead of leaving it tucked away in a folder.

From Drawing to Finished Shirt
Every piece of artwork is treated differently. Some drawings are carefully cleaned while preserving their original texture. Others are adjusted in a different way depending on what will make the final shirt look best.
Paper background removed
Motorcycle
Single subjects can be lifted off the page so the drawing sits directly on the fabric.
Drawing carefully simplified
Tiger
When paper damage or faint lines get in the way, we can rebuild the artwork in a cleaner print-ready style.

Check My ArtworkPreparation options
Prepared to Suit the Drawing
We recommend the best approach after reviewing the artwork. No major stylistic changes are made without approval.
Keep the Full Drawing
Best for colourful scenes, backgrounds, landscapes, and complete page compositions.
The entire artwork is carefully corrected and printed as a rectangular or organically cropped composition.
Remove the Paper Background
Best for vehicles, characters, animals, and single objects.
The paper is removed so the drawing appears directly on the fabric while keeping the child's original line and colouring style.
Create a Cleaner Illustration
Best when the original paper is damaged, very faint, heavily wrinkled, or difficult to reproduce directly.
The drawing is carefully recreated in a cleaner print-ready style while preserving its personality and recognisable features.

FAQ
Common Questions
A few practical answers before you send the artwork over.
Do I need to scan the drawing?
No. A clear, straight-on phone photo taken in even lighting is usually enough. We will let you know if a better image is needed.
Will the drawing still look like my child made it?
Yes. The goal is to preserve the original personality of the artwork. We retain the expressive lines, colours, proportions, and imperfections unless you approve a cleaner illustrated version.
Can you remove the white paper background?
Usually, yes. Background removal works particularly well for individual subjects such as vehicles, animals, characters, and symbols.
Can you combine more than one drawing?
Yes. Multiple drawings can often be arranged into one composition. This may require additional design work depending on complexity.
Will I see the design before printing?
Yes. A digital proof is included, and printing begins only after approval.
Can I order adult and children's sizes together?
Yes. Family sets and mixed sizing are available, subject to current shirt inventory.
What shirt colour should I choose?
We will recommend colours that provide good contrast with the artwork. Some drawings work best on light fabric, while others can be prepared for coloured shirts.
How durable is the print?
The shirt is intended for normal repeated wear and washing. Follow the included care instructions to help preserve the print.
How should I wash the shirt?
Turn the shirt inside out, wash in cool water with mild detergent, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron directly over the printed artwork.
Where can I pick up my order?
Local pickup details are arranged after the order is confirmed. Pickup is available in the Forest Hill, Cedarvale, and North York area. Shipping is also available.
How long does an order take?
Turnaround depends on artwork complexity, proof approval, shirt availability, and current production volume. Confirm the current estimate before placing the order.
