Step 7
Cover dyed shirt with plastic and allow to set at least eight hours.
Step 8
Remove bands and rinse shirt under running water to remove excess dye.

Step 11
Cut off the bottom hem of the T-shirt just above the stitch line.

Measure up 8" from the new bottom edge of the T-shirt, and use quilting pins to mark this horizontal line across the shirt.

With scissors, cut vertical strips approximately 1" apart through both layers of fabric, creating a row of fringe across the entire bottom of the shirt. Cut through the stitching at the side seams as well, to separate the T-shirt’s front and back.
