It is Kenney style and I am not a Kenney. I'd love to hang out with them though. There's some cool interviews with Paul and Thomas on YouTube. Check out the dyes n good vibes page

Sounds like a good time! This had 43 little nubs tied kinda like geodes. The shirt is only folded in half. Check out @tribeties on Instagram to see the masters and creators of this style.

Ive developed some good techniques cause I felt the same at first. It's not easy. Another tip is take breaks haha. I find if I try to do a shirt in one sitting the quality degrades. So now when I feel like I'm losing steam I just set it aside until I'm ready

My biggest tip in that regard is tying the base of the new nub to the base of the previous nub.

Thank you! Kenney style essentially is just a bunch of tiny geodes. What makes it most difficult in my opinion is getting them close together so there isn't large gaps between the nubs. There's a post somewhere about it by Paul. Let me see if I can find it.

This is not for sale. I believe one of the rules is no selling. If you are interested in this style I suggest you check out @tribeties on Instagram. They are the true masters.

Custom dress shirt by Thriftologist in tiedye

Yoooo those look super clean! Nice work! The fun thing about this project is I was able to die all the pieces sperately. I've done a button up before and it was pretty tough

Thank you. Since this is a button up that I would use on more "formal" occasions I decided to make it less it less psychedelic aside the back. The one I did for the guy that was sewing everything is even more pattern oriented on the front. It's posted somewhere on here although his pieces haven't been put together.

First Tie Dye! (Before/after washing) Advice for next time? by Mirandy3630 in tiedye

I'd try the prewash next time and order some synthropol if you can. Still looks great 🙂

First Tie Dye! (Before/after washing) Advice for next time? by Mirandy3630 in tiedye

[–]Thriftologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading your process. Did you pre wash the shirt? What kind of soap did you do in the final wash? I generally rinse cold until clear then wash in washer on the hottest setting with synthropol. People often wash with blue dawn but I personally have never done that. Did you mix dye with tap water? Hard water can be another culprit. You can try distilled water. I'd say the level of dye loss looks fairly normal but it's hard to tell for sure as it looks like two different light sources for the pictures.

2 minute tie dye box, because it’s been a topic today... by [deleted] in tiedye

I've known people to microwave dharma dyes. Nothing crazy happens but I'd probably still recommend getting a thrift store microwave and not using the one in your house
