“Sewing is a radical act” iron-on transfer

Sewing IS a radical act!

In the era of “fast everything,” many of us are completely disconnected from how something is made/the labor and skill required to create it. By making it ourselves, we experience the work, frustration, and joy of creation. We understand why the prices of “fast everything” are an illusion, built on low quality and human exploitation. And by mending/repairing the things we love, we are turning our backs on the social norm that new is always better. THIS IS SOME RADICAL, REVOLUTIONARY THINKING!!

• Transfer measures 9″ (height) x 6.29″ (width). It has a transparent background.  This one looks best on a dark or vibrant item, but it also looks decent on pastels.  Avoid white or ivory for maximum visibility.
• This iron-on transfer is printed in the United States using direct-to-film technology by Ninja Transfers. I even checked the Glassdoor reviews for this company to ensure that they weren’t a bunch of a jerks.  The transfer is softer and more durable than a vinyl transfer.  You can extend the life of your transfer by washing your garment inside out in cold water and skipping the dryer!
  
• Things you will need to apply this transfer to your favorite tee, tote bag, or something cool you thrifted: a home iron and parchment paper OR a pressing cloth/lightweight piece of cloth. You will receive printed instructions for how to apply your transfer along with a QR code to access video instructions.  Refunds are not available for mistakes during application.
• Remember, this transfer is not without impact.  It includes plastic elements (like most screen print inks/graphic transfers).  Furthermore, we can’t forget the shipping and packaging.  So think carefully before making your purchase.
