INDUSTRY NEWS www.images-magazine.com 16 images FEBRUARY 2022 Valentine’s Day is the perfect time for sending a cute T-shirt to a loved one, and this gorgeous tee from Blossom & Ivy is a definite heart-winner. The Northern Ireland-based decorator specialises in embroidery and appliqué using luxury Liberty of London fabrics, explains its founder, Laura Black. “Our ‘Love’ tee was designed with Valentine’s Day in mind, adorned with a gorgeous appliqué technique using Liberty London’s Betsy Red fabric,” she comments. “I use only the highest quality items in my designs, from the amazing Madeira sewing threads and Liberty fabric to our UK-sourced, super- soft tees.” The business uses three six-needle Brother PR670E embroidery machines to decorate T-shirts, jumpers, bags and teddies, and the blank style used in the ‘Love’ tee is the short-sleeved Baby and Toddler Blank T-Shirt from Kids Wholesale Clothing. “The business has really taken off with more and more people wanting that personal and personalised touch to their shopping experience,” adds Laura. www.blossomandivy.co.uk DECORATED PRODUCT OF THE MONTH Stedman adds new collection and colours Garment supplier Stedman has announced the introduction of Lux, a collection of premium printable T-shirts made of “luxurious” cotton.
