My Urban Threads T-shirt using the new free design. I did the background with bleach in a syringe.

Wow - Pretty shirt - great work - pretty Lady Sue - sophisticated and
very inspiring.
Cross fingers for you in the competition

I LOVE love love mixing mediums. It also makes the embroidery itself more important.

Nice work Sue.
For those of you who would like to have a go at this art form, try useing artist brushes and painting on a design.That way you have more control over what happens. You can also color in the bleached areas with Sharpies or similar after the garment has been washed and dried. Place a sheet of card between the front and back of the garment before you do either the bleach art or the ink work so that neither goes through to the rear fabric..

Sue this is great. I am not entering the comp but saved the instructions for future reference ( when i'm game enough to wreck a shirt ) Love the idea . Thanks to you and Urban threads :)

Great idea! Very nice.

Great idea!!!Looks beautiful...

Very good - to say we are sisters I am hopeless at design - not fair

Don't be daft - there are lots of things you can do that I can't!

Looks great Sue and what a super idea. My grandsons would love this.

I did this to a shirt without even trying...the bottle cap came off, needless to say mine was ruined and now they want you to try making a shirt with controlled use of bleach. Should have kept my original, all I'd have to do would be the emb. and I'd be ahead of the game. LOL You are very artistic.

by vickiannette 04 May 2014

On the West Coast of South Australia, about 190km NW of Port Lincoln, where the waves are good for the surfers and the population grows in the summer time !

´Sieht ganztoll aus

wow, it's great !

This was my favorite option, too! You did a great job.

turn out great

Look out cute here i come***** lol Love it sue hugs

Oh, Sue, you truly do Rock!! What an awesome shirt, design and bleach treatment......so cool!!

I am smiling and shivering thinking of you in cool temperatures to model this is a terrific top. Great looking. Did you use reg bleach or like automatic dishwashing with bleach liquid? It is less harsh with automatic dishwashing liquid on fabric. Thank you for the inspiration.

T-shirt was only worn for the picture - if you look carefully, you can see the goosebumps!

nice job like the way you did the bleach
hug lenamae

Very nice work...clever girl!!!

Nice one! I love your generous splashes and the colours are very pretty, well done!
I am always a bit fearful when using bleach. When I accidentally get drops on a shirt it burns a hole, when I apply it on purpose I seem to rinse it out to soon. How long did you leave it on?
