DIY tuxedo t-shirt download
Thanks to the magic of inkjet iron-ons, Alex will be able to attend our Oscars shindig dressed appropriately. If you're going to watch TV for four hours, you might as well be comfortable. I, on the other hand, will be aiming for the red carpet worst-dressed list in a black and gold $5 thrift store gown.
You're welcome to download my version of the ever popular tuxedo t-shirt and make your own. Print it on iron-on transfer paper, available at office stores, and transfer the image to a t-shirt. The iron-on paper I have is letter-sized and of course I wanted the image larger than that for Alex's manly chest. So I printed the design on two pieces of paper, cut out the halves, and spliced them together when ironing them on. To download that 2-page PDF, click here. If you'd like the design as one piece, click here. You could reduce it to fit on one sheet for making kid shirts or baby onesies. For personal use only, please, not commercial. Enjoy.

Grandpa would look lovely in that, I think!
BTW, I want a pic of ALEX in his. :)
Cute! I think I will make a onesie for our 2 month old!
Oh my heck! Love it :)
I made a similar design on a onesie for my (then) 2 month old for attending a wedding. I can tell you without a doubt he was the handsomest guy there - definitely a big hit with the older ladies in the crowd. I used black iron-on patch material to make a bow tie and then sewed on pearly silver buttons.
Fun stuff!
OMG this is adorable!
Thanks for the design! I have had no luck with the inkjet iron-on transfers. Could you recommend the brand of paper that you are using? Thanks!
Mine is HP, this one.
wonderful! My 12 year old has been asking for a tuxedo shirt - I'm so excited to make this!
What a cute idea! My sister is so excited for the Oscars, I'll have to show her this!
I own one! it's very old I think it's time for a new one. Thank you! I'm going to blog about this, so I can remember =D
My sister told me about your great thrift store finds. I'm completely jealous! Hope you all have a good time.
You are such a great blogger; so entertaining! Hope you had a divine event Sunday.
I've never tried the inkjet iron ons, but what a cute idea for an Oscar party! I can't wait to watch them.
Clarification needed. If I sell my body (or my soul, for that matter) while I'm wearing the shirt, does that constitute commercial use? Is so, what sort of cut would you like?
Clarification needed. Will you be wearing the shirt to attract, um, new business, and then removing it before performing services, or wearing it the entire time? Because that might make a difference in the royalties I require.
HEY!! Isn't this supposed to be a family-friendly blog???
Of course! We're talking about Caroline's new shoe shine business. What are YOU talking about?
*sighs*
Jess, can't you get Alex a real tuxedo? I'll be the first to admit that the Academy Awards these days are a pale imitation of what they once were, but come on, woman! A T-SHIRT???
Do you want to make Cary Grant cry for Alex's plight? Do you? :]
That is pretty swish. Have you seen this blog? http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com/
lolol that's awesome I have to try these inkjet transfer paper =D
haha this is cute! Thanks!!
Soooo... let me get this straight. Caroline's gonna sell her body (or her soul, for that matter) for the privilege of shining shoes?! And she's going to wear one of these shirts, then take it off to polish the shoes with??? I think she'd better go back to selling fabrics and appreciate how good she had it!!
I love all Tuxedo T-Shirts
That is so fabulous! I've got to add this to my Oscar Party Roundup. I love it!
This looks great I think I'll make my boys (5 yrs and 3 yrs) a shirt like this on the weekend. Thank you for sharing this with us all and congrats for being posted on Craftzine :)
Love this! But I would be interested in seeing your "thrift store" find as well! Have fun at the party!
I love it. What a great idea, thanks for sharing it.
Very cute.
Very cute.
I always dreamed of marrying a man in a tuxedo t-shirt and jeans. This will be perfect when it finally happens!

greetings from Mexico!!
Great Idea for gift for new moms. I love it! And just had to download it. Thanks
Can you print this on a black shirt? I'd like to change the colour to a white design on a black shirt. Is this possible?
Thanks for the template it rocks!

I love the design! :0
Where can I get this online?
Really cute. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you SOOOOOOOOO much! I couldn't find a tuxedo t-shirt in the stores, and I need one for tomorrow! This is PERFECT!! Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm using it on a onesie for grandma's Oscar-themed birthday party and will be sure to blog about it next week!
hi am amesh from indonesia :) love your tux template, i printed it on cardboard for the photo booth props on our new year eve's party. it was a huge hit! see here http://dreamesh.blogspot.com/2011/01/nye-party.html really, thanks so so much :)
I guess a pink color of this tuxedo print on the shirt would be so cool!
Thanks so much for this! I am using it this weekend to make tshirts for my boys to attend a movie-themed birthday party!
How do I change the color of the pattern??
Just made this for a friend's baby shower! LOVE IT!
would you be able to send the jpeg file of this to me? I would like to upload it to my silhouette machine to make a vinyl iron on - thank you!

This is so cute! So when you want tuxedos for kids, then you can just download this adorable pattern and print it on a shirt or onesie. Because who really expects kids to be in tuxedos for any amount of time?
How well does this transfer onto black shirts? Or this one only for transfer onto white shirts?
The black design won't show up if transferred onto a black shirt. I did make a white-on-black version here, but it required some white iron-on material.
Love this! I was looking for another design for a friends baby boy so thank you!
When I post about it I'll link back to this post.
Thanks again,

I cannot thank you enough! My son is going to be the MC at his school talent show and completely forgetting to plan his attire, you SAVED me!!! Thank you!!!!
Glad to hear it!
I would like to use your template on a black tshirt so I would need to change the colors on your template. Is there an easy way to do that or can I even do it? Basically instead of black lapels have white and a white tie... please help! :)
Hi! The vector PDF can be opened in Adobe Illustrator and colors can be changed. Just keep in mind that if you fill all the shapes with white and print it, you will be printing a blank page.
You'd need to cut the shape out of opaque white material and affix it to a black shirt like an appliqué:

Used this for an upcoming bachelor party for a few of my mates and me. Thanks for the high quality PDF! Best on the net!
Great, glad it worked!
