went to the craft store, bought these things:

modge podge mat matte
white curtain sheer cloth (pantyhose works too, but not as well)
circular sewing cloth holder thingy
good fabric paints


cut the sheer cloth to size, and stretch it through the sewing hoop thing until it's tight. decide what you want on the shirt and make a stencil or printout or something. draw it out on the sheer cloth and then paint the modge podge around the spaces where you don't want the ink to go through. the modge podge succefully blocks up all of the pores in the sheer cloth so that the ink only goes through the open cloth parts. now you have your re-useable screen.

place the screen where you want it on the tshirt, and just sort of do what's necessary to get the paint through the pores. sometimes smashing it through with the brush works, but in regular screen printing you're supposed to scrape it around until it goes through. i'd say to check it out on the internet before you go about doing anything just to know how the process works. my brother found the process on livejournal at this page [link]
