To make sure all of my

creases I can open them up from the top

and the bottom side usually is pretty

pretty easy just because of the way it

pulled up on the bottom but I just like

to make sure that I have access to them

and in that way I can then adjust them

that will hopefully make the dye go down

better inside okay I think we about have

it here I like to get this tight up

tight enough that I can pick it up move

it around without pieces and parts

coming unwrapped on it

okay so there's my hoodie so I'm gonna

flip this over and like you say this

here is now the front of the hoodie and

all my creases are laying pretty nicely

at this point if I need to make any

adjustments and this here is where the

hoodie is so that's one of the places

where sometimes you need to make an

adjustment so I just kind of tuck and

fold things in as needed and like I say

this here is maybe two and a half inches

thick on there so I like to try to keep

that as nice and flat as possible so on

the front side of the hoodie I'm gonna

draw some lines for my dyeing and this

one here somebody requested a hoodie

from me so this is going to be for them

so I'm going to dye this in blues and

purples so I think I have two of each

color so I'm gonna do eight pieces of Pi

on here so I basically just made a cross

on there and now I'm gonna make another

one in the middle here giving me eight

pieces of pie on the hoodie and then I

can die two of each section in each

color that I have selected here and then

to get the lines on the other side I

just try to extend these lines all the

way down so let me see if I can show you

what I'm doing I'm just taking this line

here and extending it all the way down

to the edge here so that from the other

side I can see where all of these lines

are and draw the same one so I'll start

out by just extending each one of these

lines

and then once I have it then is pretty

obvious where all the lines go so then I

just connect them up and this just helps

make the dining go faster if I'm not

trying to figure out where I need to put

my dies at and these are just washable

markers i buy these just at the store

and I bought some off of Amazon this one

here is a crazy art brand I don't know

if you can see that or not there we go

the other brand I use is Crayola they

both seem to wash out pretty good but if

I'm working on a t-shirt sometimes I'll

go ahead and just do the inside of the

teacher just in case something doesn't

wash out that's a little harder to do on

the hoodies working on the inside

because that's where the soft fuzzy site

is and a lot of that is polyester and

the dye kind of runs funny on polyester

so I like more control so I'll always

almost always die hoodies from the

outside rather than the inside so

there's all my lines I'm gonna get set

up put some gloves on and we'll be back

to dye this in a second

okay so here we are to die the hoodie

and I end up having three blues and

three purples so I'm gonna put my light

blue my light purple on underneath one

my darker blues and darker purples so I

am starting out with the turquoise here

and I'm just going to die two of the

piece of the pie with the turquoise dye

and I'm going to come back later and

check on these cracks and stuff in the

all the creases here open them up but to

start with I'll go ahead and take this

bottle and poke it down inside just so I

can try to get as much saturation in

there as possible and then I come back

later and check it before I put it away

to batch

you

so when I flip this over I made sure

that I'm putting the colors in the same

places I could see my light purple right

on this spot here so I'm putting light

purple down again and I see my turquoise

in these two spots so I'll put my light

blue down in those and then go for the

darker colors

you

okay

at this point I start opening things up

just to check for saturation and one

easy way to do it is just to reach under

and just kind of push some of the

creases up the main thing though is

since I reached under sight underneath I

have blue on my hand here if you're

working with multiple colors say rainbow

then you want to make sure you wash your

hands out before you reach into other

areas but since I have just blue and

purple they're all gonna mix pretty good

so I'm not worried too much about just a

little bit of dye contamination so I

just kind of open that up I see little

tiny bits of white in here that's not

too bad I mean I'll still go ahead and

add just a little bit of dye to it but

what I'm looking for if there's any

really big chunks because some of this

here the dye is still gonna spread a

little bit and they'll fill that in or

the tiny spots of white will just add a

little bit of contrast so if you just go

all the way around and just kind of poke

I'm poking up with my finger here just

to open those creases up so I can look

down inside but if I was doing a rainbow

spiral I'm not gonna go for my green

into the orange or yellow or something

underneath just because I would

contaminate the bottom side but with

purples and blues it's all pretty good

so I'm gonna just open those up all the

way around on the top side and then I'll

flip it over and I'm gonna do the same

thing on the bottom side because hoodies

are so thick that it can hide a white

area in there fairly easily so any of

the thicker the if there's you have

thick parts of your t-shirt or your

hoodie those are places to really look

so like up around the hood and stuff

some of those creases are a little bit

awkward just the way that they're folded

up so that's a place that you might want

to check really good around but this

here is all looking pretty good I got my

first saturation and they're really nice

so I think this here is gonna be ready

to batch yeah see I'm only finding just

these little tiny spots in here and

those are easy enough to add some extra

dye to just to make sure everything is

saturated nicely so there's a another

light spot so it pays off to open these

up and find those ahead of time

especially with hoodies okay I think

this here is ready to batch the other

way is you can just pry open the creases

the center ones they're a little bit

smaller so it's harder to peek into

those but if you have a cuticle pusher

you can use that to peek into some of

these smaller cracks here so you just

kind of open it up but usually the

smaller cracks have less fabric in them

so they don't have as much of a

saturation issue as other areas do but

yeah just find whatever method works for

you to open things up and just check all

of the the cracks and crevices and

you'll be happy you did or as monk would

say you'll thank me later so there is a

tight spiral hoodie and I'm gonna let

this batch now for 48 hours and then

I'll have the results results posted

here in just a couple seconds thank you
