DIY Loch Ness Monster T-shirt

I wanted to find Alexander a Loch Ness Monster Tshirt for his birthday, but I didn't find one that I thought was perfect.  I did like a shirt of Nessie for him, but BELIEVER was written boldly underneath it and it was too overstated for me.
So, I started thinking about what I would like and designed 2 shirts.  This is the first one.  I made a my own digital cutout version of the original iconic 1938 image.  Not only do I like this better, but I haven't infringed on anyone's copyright by making my own.  That's a big deal to me.  I also put "believer," but made it understated and off to the corner.  It's nice to be able to make things exactly as you would like them.  I hope you like it too!  :o)
Materials:
Dark T-shirt Transfer Sheet (it will have a white background, instead of a transparent)
Parchment Paper
Iron
T-shirt

Print this at 100% onto your transfer sheet.  I have a PDF of the transfer also, click here to access it. The pack of paper you buy to do this with will have directions on how to use it.  I used June Tailor's "Dark 'Iron On' Inkjet T Shirt Transfers."  I had to let the transfer dry for 30 minutes.  Then I cut out the the black frame.

Alexander's T-shirt was an Adult size M.  I placed it 4 inches from each sleeve and 8 inches from the top shoulder seam.  I think it would have been better 6 inches from the top.

I ironed it on using the parchment paper as the package recommended and doubled the amount of time ironing because the T-shirt was 100% cotton.

Alexander liked it.  He laughed and said, "Wait 'til my friends see!"  Success!
