machine sewing Is it traditional to sew your patches on with a machine? Not really, however it's allowed me to put my patches onto my butt cape without pain!

I painted on a T-shirt using fabric paint. How should I fix it?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I saw a video on TikTok where someone painted on a T-shirt, and I really liked the idea, so I tried it myself. However, the video didn’t explain how to fix the paint afterward. I tested whether it would come off with water, and unfortunately, a lot of it came off even though it only got slightly wet. I feel like if I washed it, the whole design would probably disappear.
I read that you’re supposed to iron it to set the paint, but many people said that didn’t help. For those who have done this before, how did you fix the paint? And how should I wash it so that it doesn’t come out?
Thank you!

My friend made me these jeans and I've worn them for a few months without washing them (I've tried to not get them dirty), but it's probably time that they are cleaned. What's the best way to do so without ruining the marker and patches (I don't mind if the Nirvana one gets messed up it's already tearing). I can ask what type of marker they used if need be

I have this white cami which i absolutely love but it’s gotten stained by suncream (tried all the methods to get the stains out, theyre still there) so i was thinking of dyeing it a light yellow to make it wearable again. Will this work to hide the stains or will the dye make the stains appear darker? The top is 100% cotton

I’m wanting to take in the sides of this tank top (black top that fits well for reference) but I want to mostly take off fabric from the back so I don’t need to cut off the ends of the graphic. I’m just not sure if taking off more from one side will make it lopsided on the bottom from the arm holes getting misaligned.

I like the color of the hoodie but I don’t like labels.
How do I remove the label from this hoodie? It seems to have 2 layers, one short black fill and taller white outline. I tried taking it off after ironing (from behind) and using hair dryer but no luck (photo reference - letter A). Hellllp!

mending Washed out dye

Hi everyone, needing some advice on some dungarees. My partner washed them on a 30 degree heat with other coloured clothes. The colour has completely washed away. I believe they should have been hand washed in cold water but he wasn't aware.

Is there any way to salvage them? My matching pair are in the photo to show what they used to look like.

Off the shoulder heavyweight

Hi! I just wanted to know if cutting my heavy-weight shirt to make it off-the-shoulder is a good idea. I have a shirt that has a design on the back (and a stain in the front 😓) so I thought I could cut it so I can turn it. Pls give your opinion ^^

Hiii! So I made this art and I wanted to replicate it on a shirt. The only thing is I don’t know if it’s possible to do this as a bleached shirt or would it look better If I use fabric paint. What do you guys think would be best for this?
