Behind the scenes: what really goes into making a custom t-shirt at the Winking Willow.

Ever wondered how those oh-so-cute custom t-shirts from the Winking Willow come to life? Spoiler alert: it's more than just slapping a design on fabric! Heather and Britney, the sister duo behind this South Carolina gem, pour their hearts (and sometimes a little sparkle) into every single piece.

Here's the scoop:

1. The inspiration spark - It all starts with an idea. Whether it's a funny, southern saying, a chic seasonal vibe or a customer's unique request, these sisters know how to turn thoughts into fabulous designs.

   
   

2. The design magic - Heather and Britney work together to create the perfect look. Some ideas come to life quickly, while others involve late night brainstorming (and maybe some coffee-fueled debates). They use top-notch tools to bring your dream shirt to life.

   
   

3. The hands-on process - Once the design is ready, the real work begins, printing, pressing, inspecting--every shirt gets the personal touch. No detail is too small, and nothing leaves their hands unless it's absolutely perfect.

   
   

4. The sister stamp of approval - Each shirt is made with love, laughter, and a little southern sass. If it doesn't make them smile, it doesn't make the cut.
