Hi. I have 100 archetype sketches of design ideas but dont have a clue about how I can put them on t-shirts. Really I'm not an artist or graphics saavy. What is my next step???

Well you have found the right place to help figure it out as there are alot of really helpful people here. There is a wealth of info here on the different types of printing that should be able to give you some kind of an idea as to what direction to go. If you have any questions feel free to ask

If you're talking about screenprinted tees, you might want to show them to a local screenprinter and ask them what it takes to get the art ready to print. A quick visual of some art and film and a burned screen might be the quickest way for you to see what is involved. If they're just pencil sketches, and unless that's what you want them to look like printed, you'll have to get someone to redraw the stuff, preferably digitally on a computer in a vector program like CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator, or in a pixel-based program like Photoshop, all depending on the art and how you want it to look.
At that point, for screenprinting, film positives would be output. For direct-to-garment machines, the digital file would be output directly to the machine from the computer.
