Trial and Bleaching

Hello All,


During the last blog post we said we would be doing our first draft with the shapes, however, he decided to push that back further as we wanted to do our first shirt, our first draft as a normal shirt. This way we could learn how the bleach reacts with the t-shirt material, how long it takes for it to dry, and lastly how it does after a wash. A problem that we crossed was that the bleach spreads out from the area that it is put on, therefore, in the future we need to go slowly and put small amounts of bleach onto the material, if we want to come out with a coherent shape. We have not decided to make a certain amount of shirts and we also do not know how long it will take to make them, maybe two days per shirt. Although one thing we did decide on was that the shirts may have slightly varying prices depending on the design. Next week, we will make the actual first draft with the planned design.

  4. I think it was a very smart idea to test how the bleach reacts with the shirt so you know what to expect when you begin making your actual designs. Can't wait to see how they turn out!
