Berfday and Tie-dye Tshirts

Since I've given my sis her birthday gifts, I can now post about tie-dying.  Once again, for our sailing trip, we made tie-dye tee shirts for the "crew". 

A few years ago,  I made one extra for my sis - and she told me recently that she had worn it so much it was a bit tattered. 

So, I had to make her a new one, of course!  I didn't want to post about it until I gave her the shirt!

Same process -here are a few of the shirts...coiled up with dye:

And the corresponding shirt - 24hrs later.

Duane's Shirt:

Carolyn's shirt, I believe:

And Cecil's:

Next we needed to apply the emblem.  The last time, we ordered the shirts silk-screened.  This year, we decided to try an iron-on transfer.  It worked fine, but I think for all the trouble, I'll just custom order screen printed white tee shirts next time!

The ink-jet printed emblem that we collectively made - even had to get some help from Duane's sis Carolyn!

Ironed-on per the instructions -

Rinsed a few times and they're ready to wear!

You've seen some of these photos from the trip - but just a few shots of folks wearing their shirts!

Lindy and Sharon made their shirts themselves - I made Cecil and Carolyn's since they were traveling before the trip.

And believe it or not, this is the best photo I have on my sweet sis in her shirt!  It fits her perfect!
