Not too long ago, I was inspired by all the amazing educators I have been lucky enough to know as my subscribers. I knew I needed to create something special just for them! Now we are not even a year into my T-shirt subscription for teachers, and I can’t believe what it has become. Here is a little behind the scenes look into Tees 4 Teachers.

My Inspiration to create a t-shirt subscription for teachers
Earlier this year, I was 9 months into my newest subscription box, the Framed! T-shirt Club. It was growing and growing and I couldn’t be more excited about it. But, I saw something happening behind the scenes…
I had a lot of Teachers that were subscribers. Some of them said, I love the inspirational tees because I get to wear them to school. But I was thinking, how could I ensure EVERY tee could be worn to school??
I had another group of Teachers at a nearby school, West Foundation Elementary, that were declaring a Framed! T-Shirt Day and wearing their matching shirts on certain days together. I loved it!! They would take a group picture and send it to me every month. Their little group began to grow and grow.
So, it got me thinking. What if I created something special just for them. I could create exclusive designs that were focused on Teachers and inspirational messages for the kids in their classrooms.
The ‘Tees 4 Teachers’ subscription was born! A monthly t-shirt, designed by me and created with Teachers in mind. We immediately had lots of educators join, and it’s been growing ever since.
Creating Custom T-Shirt Designs for Teachers
The design process is my favorite. I watch trends, think about what season we are in, what teachers are thinking and feeling in each month, and create something special and relevant just for them.
I use a program called Procreate on my ipad to draw out my ideas. I transfer them to Photoshop and send it to print! I love choosing the shirts and the ink colors every month.
Teacher Appreciation!
I love teachers. My kids have been fortunate enough to be taught by some of the most caring teachers there are. It’s a job I could never do, but appreciate every single day. This subscription is really special to me, because while I am not a teacher, I have many teachers friends and a few in my family, including my sister.
Another fun fact is ALL of our tees are printed in a print shop with employees that have over 100 years of teacher experience, both active and retired. For teachers, made by teachers.
