You really haven't given us much information to go on, but here are some good resources to learn how to "start" out:

well if you are going to be making them, i suggest looking at some of the featured threads on the homepage. if you are designing them, just sit down and get creative. make sure they are in vector format and you separate the colors. then get you a t-shirt template online and put the design on it.

hope this helps.

Hi Candy,
What is your original business model? And where are you located (retail, warehouse, home based)? Do you have customers already or will you just start advertising?

There are a couple of ways to go. You could "test the waters" by establishing a relationship with a wholesaler, I can help with that. Or you can purchase the necessary equipment to get started. An easy way to go depending on the volumes you intend to offer is DTG. I have four stores all using DTG very successfully.

Good luck!
Cheers,
Ron
