I have a site kind of like that- I post news and information about t-shirt contest websites. I got most of my early traffic from posting comments about designs on various t-shirt websites (Threadless, Shirt.Woot, etc)- if you have a link to your site in your profile (or signature, if allowed), a surprising number of people will check it out.
Another thing to try is linking to other t-shirt sites, a lot of them will return the favor. To make sure they know about you and your blog, post comments on a few of their posts (with your website linked, of course). If you run an especially interesting post, they might link to it.
A lot of t-shirt companies have blogs or some way of linking to people who have positively reviewed their work. You might want to focus on those companies first, since it might increase your traffic if they link back to you. (I gave a good review to Shirt A Day, and was linked on their front page to assure nervous customers that their printing was high quality.)
Digg, deli.cio.us and stumbleupon can help out, too.
I think the main thing is to have a unique point of view so that you stand out from other sites. If your reviews are the most in-depth, the most funny, or the ones with the most detailed photography, etc, visitors will hve more reason to return or to add you to their favorite sites.
