You just take the tee design, copy it, and paste it on the blank mock up tee graphic.
That's the general instructions.
We'd probably need more specific information on what exactly you have tried to do and what exact problems you've had when you tried to help you work through it.
I would think in photoshop you would have your mock up tee on one layer and create a new layer with your design, then overlay it on the first layer. Hope this helps

depends on if your 'mock-up tee design' (blank shirt) and your 'tee design' (graphics to be printed on shirt) were produced in photoshop or corel or illustrator etc.
if they were done in photoshop just open both files. position the windows so one is atop the other. click anywhere on your mock-up tee file. open your layers window. create new layer. name it whatever. make sure it is the top layer in this layer window. now go to the other file which has your graphics. make sure everything is unlocked. use your selection tool ( drag across design) to select your design. go to edit up on your menu bar. edit>copy. close that file. (save changes if you want). go to your mock-up tee file again. go to edit up on your menu bar. edit> paste. it should paste into that layer that you had created minutes earlier. you shold be able to see that this layer is atop the blank tee layer. you might have to resize and move around etc. but that's the basics.
if your files are in another format just use the import function instead of copy/paste. just make sure that you import them into separate layers and your design is atop you mock-up tee layer.
it all gets easier. just practice. practice. -peace.
Take pic of a blank shirt
open the file in photoshop
open the design file also
drag the design screen to the shirt screen (resize design as needed prior to moving the design over)
The cool thing about using the GoMedia template or the template Jimiyo uses is that they include a layer mask...so if you want to show how the artwork is going to look in areas of the shirt that are off center, you can move the artwork around and even hang it off the edge of the shirt. The mask will make the artwork appear to be on the shirt instead of hanging over the edge of the shirt and going into the background. It also helps the designer see what a design might look like in areas other than center.
