As an aspiring new entrepreneur, this is a great recourse. The beginning part is a brief overview of the history of the T shirt, followed by different printing methods. I learned a lot about the different printing methods specially the oddball shirts you see everyday but never quite know how they were produced like that. He doesn’t go too much into cut n sow but I think that was expected. I would highly recommend this course to anyone starting out.
