Default Shape wrapping around the t-shirt technique

Hello

I'm a new user of this forum which has already helped me reply to a lot of my questions.

I'm trying to develop an understanding of how I can achieve the following effect: a vine growing all over the t-shirt, starting from the lower back, growing over the shoulder and sleeve and side of the t-shirt, and then coming back to the front.
I don't want any seam interruption, unless it is really minimal.

What techniques would I use to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for any ideas

Modern

I think first of all the transfer type would need to be (or make it easier) the kind that allows it to print as a Hot - or - Cold peel (plastisol). Then, print each part seperate.

As you print over sections that are already printed, use a teflon sheet to protect it and remove the teflon cold.

Over seams, there will always be a minor defect with inks...not as much with vinyls etc.

give it a try on scrap fabric first.

Thanks for the quick answer!

Is this something that can be done industrially? I will go to the heat transfer section on the forum and educate myself on it.

Thanks again
