  • EP.44 - Just a quick little video tutorial on how to soften and loosen up a newer stiff shirt.
    I personally like softer shirts so it's been fun figuring all this out.
    There are many ways and many videos out there so I have tried to tie a few methods together here. After allot of trial I have found for the most part this system works good. Be careful not to over do it as you may get loose thread or even hols in your fabric.
    It is probably not a good idea to do this to your favorite shirt.
    If you want to distress an image on a shirt the pumice stone is a good bet but again, be careful.
    Here is a list of what you will need!

    I’m going to try this! I bought a new tshirt so it’s vibrant, I want to wear it to an event this summer so I’ve been tossing it in my laundry basket & washing it every week to hopefully further destress it lol

    • @dirtydonnyart
      @dirtydonnyart  4 года назад +4

      You can also try just tennis balls and fab/softener at first. I usually do shirts I'm OK with messing up but they have all been fine.
