unfortunately yes, it has to be the same one. they are trying to match shirts they already have so they all look the same.
In PS, the pen tools is all you need, resize your design as desired and adjust your resolution to 300dpi.
With the use of the pen tool, you can actually trace the design.
Try finding some nice tutorials on Photoshop Pen tools and you will find it very helpful tracing your design.
Here' one video I made (just to start with)... goodluck!

I think that the word you are searching for is 'accessories'
Like Alvin said, buy it from fotosearch BUT don't eat the cost yourself. This is a time to add it into the cost of the shirts. The customer is in a bind because the other supplier went out of business (maybe because they ate the cost of too many graphics purchases
). I am not advocating taking advantage of the customer but you need to cover your costs. If you don't think you will be using it ever again then work the cost into the job. If the same customer needs more later you can offer the shirts at a lower cost since your "graphic work" to match the existing shirts was covered in the first order.Unless I have a large order with a good profit I don't do graphic recreation or purchasing for free. You have to calculate what your time is worth even for time away from the presses. If your profit is $4 per shirt for example on 25 shirts and you value your time at $25 per hr but spend two hrs recreating the artwork for the customer you just lost half your profit.
My 2 cents worth.
