Free Golden Girls SVG

Are you a Golden Girls fan? Download this Golden Girls SVG File – it’s FREE for Cricut and Silhouette machines, and works great for sublimation, too! Whether you are a Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, or Sophia, you will be saying “Shady Pines, Ma!” all of the time!

Golden Girls is one of my favorite shows of all time. I used to watch reruns when I was in college with my great aunt when she was nearly homebound. Spending time and laughing at all of the jokes are some of my favorite memories I have with her.

In fact, I used to call her and the older ladies who lived around her the Golden Girls! I’d like to think that my aunt was like no-nonsense Sophia! I think we all have a woman in our lives that acts like one of the Golden Girls! I’ve been thinking about her a lot lately, and I designed this new SVG in her memory.

I love wearing fan shirts, but I also love when they appear to be regular shirts. Only true fans can appreciate this shirt and when they notice it they’ll mutter, “Shady Pines, Ma!”

For all non-super fans, Dorothy always threatens to send Sophia to Shady Pines to keep her in line (when she’s being typical Sophia). There are tons of Shady Pines Ma memes and it shows up in a lot of episodes.

This Golden Girls inspired SVG file is perfect for making mugs, shirts, tanks, and even wine tumblers! AND, you can use the file for sublimation, not just with vinyl! It’s perfect for making wine tumblers!

Instructions for How to Use an SVG File

If you’re new to using SVG files with your Cricut machine, make sure you read my full post on How to Upload an SVG to Cricut Design Space.

To make a shirt:

Upload the Free SVG file to your cutting software and size it to fit your shirt. Make sure to MIRROR the design before cutting, and then cut when ready. The shiny side of the HTV goes DOWN on your mat. Weed away the extra vinyl. For best results, use an EasyPress or Heat Press to press the vinyl design onto the shirt.
If you’re using the Cricut EasyPress, for recommendations based on your materials, you can check out the Cricut EasyPress Recommended Settings.

To make a sublimation wine tumbler (it’s perfect for designs with small details):

Make sure you read my extensive post on How to Make a Sublimation Tumbler. It has everything you need to know before you get started!
