There’s something extra special about getting to create custom pieces for people who mean so much to us. ❤️

We had the chance to make a couple of Senior Mom shirts for Nicole as she gets ready to cheer on Jaydin through her SENIOR YEAR! 🎓

Jaydin, we hope your senior year is filled with the best memories, big moments, lots of laughs, and everything you’ve been looking forward to. Enjoy every second — it goes way too fast! 🥹

And to all of our Senior Moms, Senior Dads, grandparents, siblings & biggest fans — we’d LOVE to help you celebrate your senior! 🎓

✨ Senior Mom/Dad apparel
✨ Senior Night shirts
✨ Photo & name designs
✨ Sports, activities & school designs
✨ Custom apparel made just for YOU

And remember — our minimum for custom apparel is ONE! 🙌 You don’t need a team, group, or bulk order to have something special made.

Have a senior you’re celebrating this year? Reach out to ACW and let’s create something for them!

There are some projects that mean just a little bit more. 💙💛

For one of ACW’s owners, Jacey, Milton Pope Grade School is one of those places.

Jacey attended Milton Pope from Kindergarten through 8th grade, and so many of the memories and life lessons from those years have stayed with her. She can still remember how exciting it was to get new MPS Spiritwear as a student — and, believe it or not, she still has some of those original pieces today!

So when ACW was asked to help create apparel featuring Milton Pope’s new mission statement…

Honoring Tradition. Inspiring Excellence.

…it truly felt like a full-circle, dream-come-true moment. 💙

Seeing Milton Pope’s teachers and staff wearing these designs makes it even more special. There’s something pretty incredible about getting to create for a place that played such a big part in who you became.

Thank you, Milton Pope, for trusting ACW with something so meaningful. Once a Pilot, always a Pilot. 💛

MPS Spiritwear is available now! Check out the attached link to shop and support Milton Pope Grade School.

There’s nothing better than helping a local business look as professional as the work they do! 👏

We recently had the opportunity to work with Integrity Concrete Coatings in Sycamore, IL, outfitting their installation team with brand-new performance tees. These lightweight, moisture-wicking shirts will help keep their crew comfortable while they’re out delivering top-quality work.

We’re so grateful for the opportunity to partner with another local business and can’t wait to see these shirts out on the job!

Thank you, Integrity Concrete Coatings, for trusting A Creative Wash with your team’s apparel. We appreciate your support and look forward to working together again!

We were honored to partner with Lions Jrs SWP Volleyball to create these custom Dig Pink long sleeve warm-up shirts for the 2026 AAU National Volleyball Championships!

💖 NEW AT SUZY’S! 💖

We are so excited to share our latest collaboration with one of our favorite local spots, Suzy’s!

These eye-catching neon pink hoodies are now available for purchase at Suzy’s and feature the phrase that anyone who has ever walked through their doors knows is absolutely true:

“Come for One, Stay Forever.”

As a small business, we love partnering with other local businesses, but this project is especially meaningful to us. The owners of ACW have spent countless hours at Suzy’s—playing volleyball, celebrating victories, sharing laughs, and making memories with friends who have become family.

There’s something special about a place that brings people together the way Suzy’s does. Whether you’re stopping in for one drink, a volleyball game, or just good company, you always leave feeling like part of the family.

If you’re a Suzy’s regular (or just want to rep one of the best local spots around), be sure to grab one of these hoodies while they’re available!

Thank you to Suzy’s for letting us be a small part of your story. 💖
