I really like this idea. I used to find fabric pens utter shite though and a degree of skill to make sure you don't go over the pre printed lines. It'd get my vote other than that though.

I love this idea but I don't like fluoro colours

i think I'm going to include these ones instead of the fluoro actually
(more colours too) but 25p more @ £4.25

Just spotted this ! (see my post above) - I agree, permanent markers of some kind would be needed for the black shirt - something that is permanent on PVC would do the trick.

nice, thick "heavy body" or "high viscosity" acrylic paints (e.g. 'Golden' or 'Liquitex') work great on fabric (may eventually crack a bit if you put in a heated dryer after washing).

i've used them on cotton jersey (among other things) before, so t-shirts would be fine. you can use directly, or thin ever so slightly. they even sell some sort of emulsion to add to paint to make it softer for 'wearable' fabric, but i've never needed to bother with it.

better still, they sometimes come in 'starter kits' of a few basic colors, from which you can custom mix colors, and use as fine or thick a brush as you please. works on black, too.

only catch-- the paint's a bit expensive. however, people could easily share tubes (small amounts can be portioned out into smaller airtight containers/palettes; e.g., film canisters, old contact lens cases...or maybe something like this: http://www.graphicice.com/index.php/action/prodspec/itemID/36812627
which is unfortunately not airtight, but is less than a £, and could be popped into a ziploc which should keep it fresh for a good few weeks, at least)
