Our Process Simplified
You take photographs of your students' work with a DPI of 300 or above - Most mobile phones will give you this quality. You could also scan your students' work using your phone. (see Image Requirements for more information.)
You send us your images via a DropBox link we provide.
You gather quantities required.
We print your images on tea towels, cushion squares or pillowcases.
We are really great communicators! If you have any issues during our process, we are brilliant at helping you out!
Image Requirements
- We need about a 300 DPI or above on your jpeg image to create good clarity. Most phones have this DPI. You could also use the scan function on your phone. This eliminates shadows. NB. If there are shadows in your photographs, these will come out in the print. Please Note ANYTHING IN THE IMAGE YOU SEND WILL BE PRINTED. Eg thumbs, shadows and reflections!
- If you’d like children’s names on their artwork, they need to sign their actual artwork. You need to be mindful of where they sign. If it’s too close to the edge, the signature may be cropped out.
How We Work - Tea Towels
- We work with a cotton linen blend called Newport – GSM 248
- It’s best for us if you create artwork in A4 or A3 dimensions.
- Finished Tea Towel size is 65cm by 46cm
- We can print individual artworks.
-We can print with a white border framing the artwork if you’d like no white stitching on your image. The border size ~1cm around the edge of the tea towel.
-We can take your images close to the edge of the tea towel. If this is what you’d like, the image may run slightly over/under the edge of the seam. You will also see white stitching 1cm from the edge of the image. We need you to be OK with this.
- We print care instructions on the seamed hem of the tea towel and can add your organisation’s name.
-Colours may vary slightly due to slight differences in computer screens and slight variations in fabric batches.
- We work with pigment ink as it’s a little more environmentally friendly. This does fade slightly over time. Following cold washing instructions prolongs brightness.
So that’s us! This is a new idea that we’re really excited about. We are a small family group - parents are who are both teachers and want to make this as easy as possible for fellow teachers (We see you!!!).
Cushion Squares
While we don’t sew cushion covers, we can make you a printed square of each student’s work for you to make a cushion cover. The most popular size is 40cmx40cm. Minimum of 12 cushion squares. (They can be all different designs.)
Cushion squares are printed on a durable 100% cotton called OXFORD – GSM 129.
While we don’t make the cushions, we recommend cotton broadcloth for your backing material (~$8/m at Spotlight). We have made a short reel on Instagram showing how to make a simple cushion.
40x40cm fits a 45x45cm insert.
If you’d like to experiment with a different size, please contact us for a quote.
The artwork you photograph can be any size as long as it’s square in dimension.
How Long It Takes To Print
Depending on the size of your job, we need about 3-4 weeks to fill it from the moment we confirm jpegs for your order.
Care Instructions
We print care instructions on the seam of the tea towel and can add your organisation’s name.
