Official Girl Guides Uniform Polo Shirt

Product Information

Adults in guiding wear a uniform - to show their pride in being part of our charity and to act as a role model for girls. Union Flag Badge- this badge should be worn at international events on the left shoulder of the uniform top. How to wear the badge tab Make sure your badge tab looks presentable. The tab can generally fit around five badges depending on their size. Only official Girlguiding badges should be worn on the badge tab, including badges for qualifications and awards, long service badges and role specific badges. Iron-on vinyl – I used Cricut Everday Iron-On in yellow, and Holographic Iron-On in red and cobalt.

If you make a project using a T-shirt ruler guide, I’d love to see it! Please share your projects in my Cricut Crafters & Makers group where you’ll find hundreds of thousands of crafters like you, sharing their tips, projects, and inspiration. All unit leaders should have a uniform top and this can be worn with appropriate bottoms for the occasion. Preheat your EasyPress or iron to the proper temperature.The guide calls for me to set my EasyPress 2 to 330°F. If you are using an iron and cotton t-shirt, set it to the cotton setting. If your shirt is something other than cotton, you may need a different setting for your material. Bring the hoodie down to see if it will cover too much of the design. If so, gently bring the ruler down to a better position, but keep it centered and straight. You should be able to cover this entire decal in one press with the EasyPress 2. If you are using a home iron or alternate heat source, you may need to press in sections to get the entire decal. You just want to make sure all parts of the decal have been pressed for 30 seconds.

NOTE: The T-shirt rulers are already sized correctly so you do not have to worry about re-sizing. The Adult rulers should be approx. 5" H x 10.39"W, and the Youth/Toddler/Infant rulers should be 10" W x 4.5" H. Place your t-shirt face up on a Cricut EasyPress Mat or folded towel to protect your work surface. Use a lint roller to clean any stray lint or fuzz from the area of your shirt where you plan to adhere the vinyl. Place your T-shirt ruler up against the collar seam of your T-shirt. You don’t want it on the edge of your collar, but rather just below the seam. It's a bit hard to tell, but there is a smooth side and a rough side to the mats. Since I want the "engraved" texture to be on the underside of my ruler, I'll feel for the smooth side and place the smooth side down on my purple StrongGrip Machine Mat and use a brayer to make sure it's fully adhered. The excess will hang off the end but that won't hurt anything. Unit helpers and other volunteers who are not leaders can wear our member polo shirt or member fleece. Young leaders uniform

But if you might need to see the fabric’s surface during alignment — like if you’re using a patterned shirt— or plan to make A LOT of shirts, the chopping mat version is easier to make than you might think and extremely durable. It actually just takes a fine-point blade and StrongGrip mat! Leaders can wear a badge tabto display their metal badges with a coloured stripe to show which section they work with.

How to measure

Trainers and prospective trainersshould wear uniform when training within Girlguiding. If they are not a leader then they should wear members' wear. This sets the standard for our volunteers. Use your EasyPress or iron to put a little crease on the center fold. When you open your shirt you’ll know exactly where the center is. Now you can just line up the center of the ruler with the crease to get perfect placement! A way to cut your T-shirt rulers and vinyl. I used the amazing Cricut Maker 3 but you can also use the original Maker or an Explore series machine with the Fine-Point Blade When the cut is finished, don't remove the mat! First, gently lift up a corner to make sure the ruler's shape is completely cut out. If not, press the "Go" button to repeat the cut process. It should go all the way through now. An appropriate heat press – I used my EasyPress 2, but you can use another Cricut heat press, or a home iron. Have a towel or pressing mat and a lint roller ready, too.

Our uniform tops come in a range of different styles, including hoodies, polo shirt, formal blouses and maternity options. You can see the full range in our online shop. The chopping mats are 11" x 14" but I’m going to place them on 12" x 12" mats with the excess hanging off the edge. So on the Prepare screen, leave the Material Size at 12" x 12", but make sure the ruler shape doesn’t go past the 11" mark to the right, since there won’t be material to cut over there. Cut the vinyl using the "Holographic Vinyl" setting with "More" Pressure, shiny side down on a green StandardGrip machine mat. Find the vertical center of your shirt. The simplest way to do this is to fold your shirt in half by matching up your sleeves. Young leaders who are also Rangers don't need to buy both sets of uniform if they don't want to. Instead they can wear their Rangers uniform with the young leader badge tab. If members wish to buy both uniforms, then they’re welcome to do so. Formal uniform

Hello,

A general rule of thumb is to align the top of the design right around where the tip of the hood lays so that none (or very little) of the design is hidden. Remember, place the vinyl against the t-shirt so the shiny carrier sheet is between the design and your EasyPress or iron.
