Was it a cotton t shirt? If so that is your problem. You can only sublimate on to a polyester garment or a garment with a high polyester content.

Was your t-shirt 100% polyester? You can only sublimate to items containing polyester, the higher the percentage, the less faded when washed.
If you lick your finger and touch a corner of your paper it should stick more to the coated (printable) side.

Oops, sorry! I always get your posts confused with logobear's. I think it's the colours in your signature. I should read usernames!
