Well, not entirely new, just new-to-me.

Dez and Lisa are working on a project, and I was enlisted to work up the lining for it.  Dez asked me to use a dye technique I’ve never done before, so I’ve been looking up ways to do it before committing myself to their project.

This is what I started with, a plain white t-shirt.

And this is what I ended up with:

I’m still exploring some other options, finding all sorts of different dye techniques more appropriate for cottons and silks.

I used an old, used t-shirt for this first experiment.  Now that I’ve seen further options, I may use up some of my other t-shirts to experiment.

There are LOADS of t-shirt dyers on Etsy already, and I don’t think this is something I would enjoy doing on a large scale or on a regular basis, but if you think  you would like a one-of-a-kind t-shirt similar to this, let me know — reader opinions guide a lot of my decisions!
