I'm so glad I could help! Thank you for watching!

The sewing over the eyelets is brilliant!!!

Great tutorial. I am a retail store manager that just set a pirate theme Halloween set. I bought a very crisp looking pirate costume. I was literally going to drag the items around in my driveway. I am definitely going to try tea dying. Love your energy and the info was spot on.

Thanks for the 101. I've been looking for shirts without metal eyelets but I never considered to just cover them up.

Thank you so much! I hope your halloween costume turns out fantastic!

You have such a refreshing and funny way of talking and editing and explaining. Just getting into sewing and Larp, so thanks a lot from a newbie!!

Thank you! We speak the same language when it comes to TEXTURE GOOODNESSSS!!

you’re so creative and cool and omg

So informative, so straightforward! You have such refreshing takes on creating; you’re so good at showing how anything from aging shirts to sewing puppets to putting on an entire musical really is possible. I will definitely be keeping the watered down acrylic trick in the back of my pocket. I do have to ask though, does it bleed in the wash? If so, how badly should I be prepared for? Haha

Thank you so much for your kind words! It definitely depends on the paint you use, so I would do a test wash or wash it by hand if you're worried. One of the reasons I use paint instead of dragging it through the actually mud (like I know a lot of people do) is because it doesn't come out as easily as actual dirt (and obviously for hygienic purposes). I hope that helps!

You transformed that cheapo shirt into a proper garment, thanks for the tips! My buddy is understandably intimidated by the prospect of dressing up (and the money required to do so) for the renaissance faire, so I wanted to learn a lil for myself and help the lad out. I love your energetic presentation! I watched a few other videos like these and they couldn't keep my scattered brain focused, but the smoooooth music and your natural ability to entertain overcame my ADHD. Hellll yeeaaahhh dude

This is exactly what I needed thank you! Also, I know this video is from 2 jears ago, but if you still have tea stains in your sink you could try removing them by rubbing hand soap on the stains! It's a trick learned from my mother to remove tea stains from ceramic mugs and porcelain cups. So maybe it also works on the sink?

Wow great vid, I got the exact same shirt by coincidence 😂. Thanks for the advice

Loved the little lad dance🤣

I love your mod

I buy second hand sheets for $2 and make clothing out of that. Anything else is made with paper mache and card board. It lasts, and the only thing I spend real money on is LEDs for the lighting

This video was very cool, thank you beauty. :)

me from my childhood would like to warn this little lad to stay away from any witches’ houses... specifically the sanderson sisters’ house

The fact that you aren't the first person to compare me to Thackery Binx fills me with so much joy

Since you were already going for the stained look, it might have worked better to just grab a cheap bucket and a bottle of acryllic ink. Just mix the ink with water in the bucket and use that for a stain

please share the link for the shirt!!

Thank you so much for this video! I have a TP princess Zelda dress that I really wanna do this to. I’m curious though if the tea dyeing works on all fabrics cause my dress is polyester satin. What kind of fabric was your shirt?

I have a pirate play coming up and I’m a prisoner I’m marking my own costume

Hi I know this is from two years ago but what if the shirt has a red symbol and black arms but a white base

HI this video is so helpful and cute ty??? this makes me wanna make a costume for my own characters even though there is no event coming up that would call for one T__T

I believe I used earl grey, but you can use pretty much any tea and still get the same effect : ) Just be a little careful when it comes to teas like peppermint or lavender, which might turn the shirt a pastel color instead of brown. If the cup of tea is brown, it's probably a safe bet
