The June/July 2013 cover of Impressions features two tots wearing customized garments that were heat printed by Stahls’ Cad-Cut Direct, St. Clair Shores, Mich. These garments, the Double-Ruffle tee (style 2638) and the Ruffle tee (style 2632), and coordinating leggings (style 8338), provided by L.A. T Sportswear, Ball Ground, Ga., were decorated using some of the hottest selling materials available for vinyl cutters.
