Too funny! This morning I was going through a box of assorted odds and ends and out came one of the shirts my son and I made 20+ years ago. This is after 20 years of storage and he actually wore it for about a year so repeated washings. We'd do stuff like this with his friends on 3-day weekends I'd have a gang at the house... we had 4 boys all within a year of each other within about 6 houses of each other. Just followed the directions and did them in the microwave.
Next to it is one of the darkest pieces of "red" I was able to fix. Oh, they all started out so wonderfully vivid. Again, I followed all the directions, I used the proper setting fixatives in the proper amounts. I did all sorts of things, this is one of the ones that is actually over dyed so I worked with it twice, it started out more baby pink so at least this was usable for my purposes even if not "red".
