Obviously we are experiencing a surge of stable-diffusion based apps at the moment, but I have yet to see anyone try and map the outputs onto actual physical products that can be delivered to your door.
I wanted to make it easy to:
- pick an artistic style
- hit 'record' and speak into your phone / tablet / desktop or whatever, and describe the kind of design you want your clothing to have (since speaking is more spontaneous that typing)
- swipe among a variety of mockups (t-shirts, hoodies etc.) featuring your design, and order it to your door with the click of a button
The product is called 1SEWN. Fulfilment is currently achieved using a print-on-demand service called Printful (https://www.printful.com) that I have integrated with.
If you guys would like to try it, I would love some feedback. Shipping is currently limited to outside Europe, but even if you are in Europe, your feedback about the whole UX would be much appreciated!
Much love,
Matt
When something isn't good, you needn't pretend that it is, but don't be gratuitously negative.
I’m now suspicious whenever someone has a stupid tool that the real purpose is to train some model with the input.
Randomly, I picked the stencil style and went for "Man with beard base jumping from the Eiffel tower." It produced one really poor image. It wasn't stenciled looking at all.
Next I went for pop art and used the prompt "Frog riding a motorcycle". The art style looked like something that an 8 year old would draw, not Andy Warhol (which I believe is the artist in your screenshot).
So I think you have some work to do in taking the inputs from the user and crafting them into better SD prompts that generate outputs that look like t-shirt artwork and in the styles they're supposed to be. I'd also drop the voice prompt support, no added value here. Definitely would prefer to type it on my computer and mobile keyboards already have a voice-input button.
Tweak the parameters of how close the new image should be to the old one and the prompts, tweak the prompts to address problem areas in the image, generate another 2-8. Rinse and repeat until you have something decent.
I doubt that the really impressive SD images are coming from submitting a prompt once and taking that output. It's better than past open-source efforts like the mini dall-es, but it also still has a way to go before it can reliably produce good results on its own.
AI art on products is an interesting idea, but personally I would use a more fully-featued SD web UI to generate the image locally.
They need to do some research into what additional prompt cues they can add for the user automatically to bring the user's prompt quality up.
They can append these to the prompt behind the scenes or provide a second text input of the additional prompt data to allow the user to modify that separately from their initial prompt input.
It might even help the user better understand how styling works with prompts.
I assume it has something to do with copyright regulations in Europe or similar?
The problem with printed shirts is that everyone expects them to be cheap-ish. And the Printful quality is low enough that people were upset at a $50 price point. The only tshirts that sell for higher prices are branded ones, e.g. with Marvel characters on them. But then you're effectively selling copyright infringement as a service. And your profit margins will be low overall because Printful and their shipping are rather expensive.
In the end, and with external help, I then acquired and ran https://meowbikinis.com/ for a while. Profit margins were insanely better. Until the lockdowns in China started and the last leftovers of my stock spoiled inside a rented fulfillment center...
Don't you mean inside?
Weird phrasing. If I don't want to I can't experience the site at all.
Insane that OP's site works with audio and only audio. I mean, who thought the more complicated way to enter text should be not only the default, but the only option at all?
I wanted to try it out, but unfortunately I don't even have a microphone on my current device.
I just want to see some example prompt/output combinations!
1. Navigation doesn’t work. Sometimes swiping right goes to the next page, sometimes doesn’t. Then you are stuck on the 3rd page and can’t go back.
2. What are points? I have 5 points, got to the payment step - the T-shirt is $25. How am I supposed to use points?
3. The T-shirt that is displayed as a 3D background is completely different from the low quality generic fit design at the end. This discrepancy is off-putting.
4. The tiny final print is unintelligible on my phone. Some squiggles and circles that I can’t make sense of at this resolution/zoom level.
I think the idea of custom fashion is interesting, but this implementation doesn’t feel empowering at all. Feels limiting and gimmicky. More importantly, the result - a generic T-shirt with a very small print is not fashionable or even attractive.
I tried 5 times and every time it messed up what I said. My os has a good speech to text tool and I would use that if I wanted to talk a prompt.
The site is cool and it’s a neat idea, but forcing microphone use is weird and ineffective.

Would be great if you could add text input as an alternative to voice input.
You've essentially eliminated (most) people who are deaf and people with speech issues from being able to use your product.
It's a neat idea and the design looks like it could be nice but I can't really get past the first page because I cannot use it (no mic attached to this device and I wouldn't want to grant you permission to it anyway.)
"you don't have to be a fashion designer or graphic artist to create amazing clothes that express your personality. Whether you want to print a simple design or something more complex, 1SEWN makes it easy and affordable to get the perfect item, every time"
Do you think a generic white T-shirt with a small print of a low artistic quality is really expressing anyone's personality? Or that it looks like a "perfect item"?
But wouldn't that be more like an actual 3D printed cat instead of a picture of a cat on a t-shirt?
So you ship to North Korea but not Germany? Got it.
