Another Stenciled Flannel Shirt and a Bleached Shirt

Hi Friends,

I hope you have been well ....and doing all the little projects around

the house that you never have time for....

We have cleaned, fixed or painted the things we have put off long enough.

I've been working in the backyard

 getting my seeds in the veggie garden.

The weather has been cool and overcast.

Perfect flannel shirt weather!

My stenciled flannel shirts were so popular I thought I would make more.


Stenciled Flannel:

I used this shirt,

and this stencil.

Measure and center the stencil, tape in place.

I used white acrylic craft paint and a stencil brush.

Use very little paint, keep a paper towel near so

you can check and make sure your brush is dry loaded.

 After the paint is dry, cover with a thin cloth and set the

paint using a hot iron.

Stenciled T-Skirt :

I had a tank top with a small mark on the front so I decided to cover the stain

with a stencil.

  

I used this stencil and Navy blue acrylic paint.

I taped off the part that I did not want to use.

I used a recycled lid for  a paint pallet.

It is a good idea to but a piece of cardboard in side the shirt,

just in case the paint soaks through.

After paint is dry, cover with a thin cloth and set with a hot iron.

Bleached Flannel Shirt :

I forgot to take a before picture.

I found the shirt at the Goodwill a while ago- I liked the pearl snaps.

Bleaching a flannel shirt is the easiest of all.

I place a plastic basin or deep glass bowl into a sink.

Add water and bleach to basin- 2 CUPS WATER to 1 CUP BLEACH .

Please work in a well ventilated area!

I wanted to bleach the collar and shoulders.

I draped the shirt so that the collar is in the water

and the rest of the shirt is dry.

Sometimes the dye is removed quickly or may take up to an hour.

 Watch carefully and remove when you are pleased with the color.

Dump the bleach down the drain and rinse out basin.

REFILL the basin with cool water and add 1 cup vinegar to neutralize the bleach.

Rinse thoroughly and wash 

separately to remove the bleach.

Hang to dry.

I added an applique lace flower to the front.
