Setting up a t-shirt businessHi everyone, I know this is a bit of a long shot but perhaps some of you guys can help.
I am really keen on the idea of setting up my own business which involves designing tshirts and then selling the products. The main problem I am having is looking for an affordable way to have a design printed onto the t-shirt and where to buy the actual plain white tshirts from? Does anyone know a website that offers cheap screen printing services?
Maybe someone on here has already started a similar business so can offer advice? -

Can't you come up with anything even slightly more imaginative?
I am good at designing things so they arent going to look tacky. -

£10 a tshirt is pretty cheap, I was hoping to sell mine for £12 to £15
