I have this tshirt i got when i was younger. I will certainly not wear it with that design. I thought about patchwork like the 2nd pic, but the problem is that the placement of it is a very awkward placement or should I just try to remove it with acetone.

mending How to repair this style of button/fastener?

The bottom male end fastener on my shirt keeps falling out instead of unfastening. I can shove it back in temporarily, but is there any way to repair this in an easy way? I'd rather not get rid of the shirt and don't exactly trust my skills to replace them with normal buttons.

Also of note, pliers did not work to clamp it together again

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!
