A handmade supporter run
250 shirts.
Made one at a time.
Each shirt is numbered by hand and made with the supplies we can find locally. The minimum is $25 per shirt. What you are really supporting is the work behind MakeJoy Labs.

Made here. Worn here.
I’m wearing the first ones myself.
These are photographs of shirts I actually made—not factory mockups. The green and gray blanks show the kind of variation to expect. Every transfer is applied by hand, and every shirt in the supporter batch will be numbered as it is made.
— Matthew, MakeJoy Labs
Handmade means handmade
Support the mission, not factory perfection.
Blank brands, colors, and exact fits may vary because we are using suitable shirts available from local stores. The artwork is made with an inkjet iron-on transfer and aligned by eye. A shirt may have a wrinkle or small placement difference, and we do not yet know its long-term wash durability.
We will not knowingly hand over a damaged or unreadable shirt. For the best chance of a long life, wash it inside out in cold water and hang dry or use low heat.

This form does not collect payment.
It sends us a request. We will email you to confirm the shirt, pickup or shipping details, and payment instructions. Payment is due before we make or ship the order.
The optional extra amount is additional support with a shirt purchase. It does not unlock child-facing software, files, or special access.
