In my longest running project yet, I explore how hard it would be to make a simple graphic tee shirt from scratch by growing my own cotton, spinning and weaving it and then dyeing and printing on it.

Printing your own t-shirts is a dying art.
So your telling me that i don't have to spend thousands of dollars to make that T-shirt.
You should take the loomed fabric and aggitate it in a vat of your own urine. It will soften the fibers and give you a more consistent surface.
Make a lathe!

Why outsourced? what do you mean? Sorry I am new to this channel and want to understand

Can't believe you dedicated 3 years to make a t-shirt.
And $5000. That’s insane
its his job, so ... yeah
It only costed 50,000 lives
Can't believe you made your profile pic that
have you thought about the train wreck that could be if he made a mess on this shirt with that chicken sandwich?
You should probably return it and get a bigger size, hope you saved your receipt.

Boy someone gonna get stab
they probably made the mistake to take a pattern made for stretchy fabric. since they wove it it wont stretch therefore the pattern ofc needs to be bigger. also its quite possible that it also shrank a little bit when beeing mutilated with hot fluids...
But it fit 3 years ago...!

How to make your own t-shirt from scratch:
Step 1: Burn yourself out on farming.
step 2: Get other people to make the shirt for you.
Enjoy!
Annalise is a champion. Next series is a great concept - Success!
This channel is one of the hardest working channel on this website!! Keep it up guys this is great.

Right? Just imagine. The process these weavers had to go through and other workers had to go through. No wonder clothing was so precious if you were born under/found yourself in less privileged circumstances *and* before all the modern tools created for each era to make the process easier. I'm just blown.
Analis (not sure if I spelled her name right) is holy shit level smart. I'm so in awe of her. I could barely follow along.
I agree she's AWESOME!!!!

More like a single man plus analise
How do you know he's single?
Yes
its always going to be less efficient if there is no division of labour, without Annalise it might have been another year or more.
Or it might have just taken forever. It's not just the division of labor, it's the amplification of labor through individual expertise.
ive been waiting for this since your suit video
Far out, nicely done. I am most impressed by the loom and spinning of cotton fibers into a usable thread. The loom on its second iteration created fabulous fabric.
Build yourself a camera to use to film your videos
Is he a programmer?
he actually has a camera making series going on
It's actually not hard to make a camera for taking pictures. I'd assume video cameras are more complicated but at least he can make a stop motion video
Only gonna cost over a billion on fab labs and lenses manufacturing
He is

So excited for the new direction change! Making your own tools to process your own supplies will take this channel to an absolute other level.

My dad he wanted to make his own shirt 9 years ago!! Can't wait to see the outcome
I really hope Annelise stays with the show for the future videos. She is so cool.
You can likely sell it for 15k in New York to hipsters.
Also, the price of production goes down once you have the machines already and improve growing etc.
Love how affordable and fast this process is! Can’t wait to try it!
This show is pure gold. All the way around and every aspect of it. Analise is just about my favorite human being. Love you guys

" We're gonna make pretty significant changes to the channel "
Me : aw .. I'm guessing that's it huh ? That project was just way too much work, I mean it seem like it was pretty spread over time since they were mostly growing and doing test before the final product, but I'm guessing the delay and just all that work was too much, it's where it all ends, or it's gonna be reduiced to much smal-

These people actually dedicated 3 years just to make one T-shirt these people are an inspiration props to them
Amazing. Keep up the dedication, it definitely shows and the work and people you have on your show is very entertaining but more importantly educational. I will now have a greater appreciation for shirts and clothing in general. I have few clothes at the moment, but I'm going to stop complaining about a $20 pair of jeans and a $10 shirt. You put perspective on life and without your videos I would have a lesser appreciation for life, so thank you for that.
Annalise was the real powerhouse of this whole process
She was the real *mitochondria*
It's people like this that give me hope that if we get knocked back to the stone age we don't all die naked and hungry.
This was insane. I didn't know if I could last through the whole video... but while seeing the determination and perseverance you guys demonstrated I too felt compelled to watch until the end. What an involved project!

Goes back further than the Industrial revolution, I think. Your video really pointed this out. Specialization and guilds were an important part of it - provided the knowledge and skills to do the seperate tasks to make up the shirt - growing, spinning, weaving, dyeing, and sewing. The industrial revolution put many of these processes together and speeded them up. Even strides in farming, both practices (husbandry) and plant breeding had a huge impact. I can see why you have so many viewers. Excellent video!
Fantastic video! Looking forward to what next is to come!
Customs official: what’s all this??
Andy: woad.
Do you have the blueprints for this loom design? It truly is amazing!
Yep. Asking the important questions, here.
would love to see this shared!
Did you ever find out? Id love to know where the heddles were from
Analiese this is so much of your amazing work, you're amazing!!:)
*THIS* is what RUclips should be !
The insight it provides in the amount of work required and the progress of production methods (even of something as ''basic'' as a shirt) is very valuable.
Keep up the good work!
If you grow cotton again, try making rows of plants, placing large hoops over them, and covering them with clear plastic, near the beginning and end of the growing season. This is often used by colder climate gardeners to extend the growing season.
I have heard that it is important to use more of a fabric when the plastic could come in contact with leaves.
Yup, basically personal greenhouses. We use them all the time up here in Canada.
@UC6gEj-kTB_JpA9WuzuvunCA is this supposed to be funny

Beautiful video. Ive long thought about growing cotton to make shirts. That dream is now dead. LOL.
Don't let the dream die! (dye?!)
My cousin has been working to learn wool spinning and weaving from scratch for more than a decade. She is now a master and makes the most beautiful works from just wool or rabbit.
If you dream it, you can do it. It just takes time. Her first attempts weren't great. But she kept at it and got better. I'm so proud of her now.
I wanted to write. I sucked and wrote until I didn't suck so much. Now I have a book. Took me about a decade.
It appears to take about ten years of practice, but then you get there. Everybody is terrible in the beginning. Nobody picks up a violin and even sounds passable. No kid picks up a crayon and makes anything but scribbles. Suck and keep going until you don't.

@@Shadow-gc6le also from what I understand, it's qute difficult and takes a lot of practice to get good at
@@izzybeth yea begginer or moderate leve is stuff that's easy to learn, and kind of easy to understand but hard to actually do and get right. You have to get the proper spots, apply the right force at the right angle, and then for finalizing you have to apply the proper pressure. all of this while, and with the right tools, giving the piece the right support so it doesn't snap. The later stages is hard in both aspects, hell even masters have to abandon blade blanks because the stone just isn't working right, or because something didn't come off right.
