Custom apparel designer for WordPress · by a working print shop
THE T-SHIRT DESIGNER PLUGIN FOR WOOCOMMERCE.
Simple setup. Pays for itself. The rest is profit.
- 1Every margin dollar stays yours. One flat license. No per‑order fees, no order caps, no percentage off the top. What the shirt makes, you keep.
- 2Customers actually finish the design. It loads fast, it doesn’t crash, and the panel has six buttons instead of two hundred, so orders get placed instead of abandoned.
- 3It works the way a shop takes orders. Built by a printer who’s run the press, so proofs, print sizes and print files come out right the first time.
One yearly price is the whole price. It keeps the designer updated, supported and fast, and nothing else ever comes out of an order.

DEFAULTThe same designer, five built-in looks. It restyles to match your brand.
14 garments built in. Starter opens 5, Advanced 10, Pro all 14, plus any blank you add with the garment wizard.
The math
One order pays for the year. Everything after that is yours.
A single medium‑size order covers the whole year’s license. Not a quarter of it, not most of it, the whole thing. Every order after that is margin you keep, because there is no per‑order fee waiting at the other end.
Compare that to a rented designer: one month of typical per‑order fees costs more than a year of My T Maker, and the meter never stops running.
I’m not trying to get rich off other printers. I price this to cover updates, WordPress compatibility and new features: enough to keep building it, not enough to be a line item you resent.
Only what you actually need
Everything a print shop asks for.
Nothing it doesn’t.
No 200-option panel. Customers see six buttons, which is exactly why they finish and check out.
Real type tools
20 display fonts, arch, outline, letter‑spacing and live editing, with safe‑area warnings so art never runs off the print zone.
1,000+ ready designs
A categorized art library with one‑tap recolor. Hide categories or upload your own SVGs from the admin.
Starter ships two art categories, Simple and Favorites; the full library opens on Advanced and Pro.
AI artwork
Customers describe it, the AI draws it, tuned to flat vector output that actually screen‑prints.
Pro only, on your own API key.
Your own garments
My Garment Wizard turns two photos of your blank into a full recolorable garment. Add as many blanks as you stock. No photo‑editing skills, no developer.
Pro only.
Print-ready output
Every order arrives with proofs, hi‑res transparent PNG, plus editable SVG and PDF on Advanced & Pro, zipped and emailed.
Mobile first
Designed thumb‑first, because most custom‑tee buyers are standing in line on their phone.
See it in action
Try the designer right now
Built for my own shop first. It runs every day at chattanoogatshirt.com, taking real orders. I loved it, so now it’s yours. No signup, no sandbox. Open it, build a shirt, and download your proofs on the spot.
Live in half an hour
Three steps to selling
The rented designers make you do the work: link every product to every variant, build quantity tiers nobody fills in, upload a hundred blank garment images before you can sell one shirt. Shops lose weeks to that, and plenty never finish. There’s nothing to prep here: the garments, the color charts and the art library ship stocked.
Works with WooCommerce · Astra · Elementor · Spectra · any WordPress theme
Install the plugin
Works right out of the install. Upload, activate, done. A full color chart and the art library are ready before your coffee cools.
Drop one shortcode
Paste tshirt_designer on any page. One line, and the designer shows up wearing your brand colors and fonts.
Take orders
Designs land in your dashboard with print files attached, and the order flows through WooCommerce.
Documentation
Set up without guesswork
Add your own product in minutes
Two photos of your blank in, a full recolorable garment out: print zones, color chart, heather textures, done. No photo‑editing skills required. The Advanced Garment Maker is there too if you want full manual control. Add as many blanks as you stock; they show up alongside the 14 built-in garments.
Simple licensing
One flat price. Your margin stays yours.
No per‑order fees, no order caps. A designer that costs more than it makes you is just a tax. This one pays for itself.

Phone‑first
Most of your customers design on a phone
Coaches, team parents and shop owners order from a truck seat, not a desk. What they get on that phone is the same designer, same art, same type tools, same print‑size readout, laid out for one thumb.
- Made for a phone, not shrunk to fit one. Every tool sits across the top, the Front/Back switch just under it, and the garment and color right beneath that. No pinch‑zoom, no sideways scroll.
- Every tool, not a stripped‑down subset. Add art, set type, arch it, check the real print size, download the mockup.
- Ships this way. Nothing to switch on, and your brand colors carry straight over.
Recorded on a phone, played back at 2x. Tap to play.
Questions
Does it work with my theme?
Yes. It’s a shortcode, so it drops into any WordPress theme: Astra, Elementor, Divi, blocks, anything.
How long does setup really take?
About half an hour. Install, run the settings once, drop the shortcode. There’s no product linking, no quantity grids and no uploading blank garment images. The garments, colors and art library ship ready to go.
Do you take a cut of my orders?
Never. It’s a flat license. One month of typical per‑order fees costs more than a year of My T Maker.
What do I actually receive on an order?
Front and back proofs, a hi‑res transparent PNG of the artwork, and on Advanced & Pro an editable SVG and PDF, zipped, emailed, and saved in your dashboard.
Can customers use their own artwork?
Yes. Upload any PNG or logo, with a one‑tap background remover built in.
Is there a free version?
No. My T Maker is a paid plugin, starting at $99 a year. Test the full designer in the live demo first, it runs on a real store, and orders placed there actually print and ship.
What happens if you stop working on it?
My own shop runs on this plugin every day. If it breaks, my orders stop too. That’s the strongest guarantee I can give you: I’m not a studio that can quietly shelve a side project. It’s updated for every WordPress and WooCommerce release, because when core changes this has to change with it. That’s what the license pays for.
Who’s behind My T Maker?
One person who has done every job in the shop: 30+ years as a designer and programmer, 25 years running small businesses, 15 of them running an apparel printing company. It was built for my own counter first, then packaged for yours.
Who built this
Made by a printer, not a boardroom
I’m an old‑school designer‑turned‑coder who runs a working print shop and spent twelve years as a six‑figure Etsy star seller. I paid $200+ a month for a designer that crashed, confused my customers and acted like a tax, so I fired it and built this one. Read the whole story.
My T Maker is built and supported by Chattanooga Tshirt LLC in Chattanooga, Tennessee. My name is on it, my shop runs on it, and support emails come back from me.
“That’s what I wanted, so that’s what I built.”
There is no catch.
No per‑order fees and no order caps, so a big weekend is a big weekend, not a bigger bill. Your customers’ designs and print files live on your own server, so no outside service sits between you and the order. Starter is $99 a year with a 14‑day money‑back guarantee. The risk of trying it is close to zero. Read why there is no per‑order fee.
