You’re a tie dye legend bro

[@MrTieDye]

Thank you 🙏 just doing what I love and sharing it with the World 🌎

[@susancramm2827]

I love that you made a mistake and acknowledged it instead of making a whole new video to cover it up. It's a great lesson that even people that are really good at something can still make mistakes and to not beat yourself up if it happens to you. It definitely makes me feel better when my placement is off or something didn't turn out how I would have liked.

[@MrTieDye]

Thank you.. yeah hard to do much but laugh at myself ... feels much better than beating myself up 😉✌🏻

[@brendamaynard7309]

I know I noticed that too cause he mentioned that before on his show, that if it's inside out, it will be a reverse design, that looks like a lot of work, but I already know how to sew, I took it in HS, lol PEACE

[@Irishjay-gu5pb]

And just fyi, THANK YOU FOR TEACHING YOUR WISDOM TO THE CHILDREN!!!! I think it's so important for us to be teaching creative outlet's to kids, especially nowadays. I really appreciate your effort and I am sure they absolutely love it...I do and I'm 37! Lol

[@MrTieDye]

You are so welcome! I think the 16 years I spent doing tie-dye school events set me up perfect to create these videos and help more people around the World to have success with this art that I love so much.

@@MrTieDye That's just wonderful! My Dad is a huge Grateful Dead fan so after watching a video of yours I was hooked! Just in time for Father's Day too! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, but I know it's got to really be a passion! It's so cool that you're able to be creative and make a business with something you obviously love! I'm trying to find my niche I guess lol! Oh, lol, sorry for blabbering ha! I had to tell you how much the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon t-shirt and shoes are seriously my favorite new pieces of art!!! They are just amazing! I actually looked up the Dharma company you mentioned in a video and I can't wait to order! I was really surprised at how inexpensive it was! Bonus! ;) Lol, I am just going on and on, I am so grateful for finding a new awesome hobby! Thanks again for everything! I'll definitely take pictures of my efforts, lol, and send you them. Really appreciate your spreading the creativity bug!!! No pun intended ha! Have a great day! 🕸🌈🥼👟🤟

[@karenk469]

Thank you for this wonderful video! Loved how well you explained the process and how aware you are of not doing any damage when stitching and pulling threads out. Shows how much passion you have for your dye art. Hope to increase my dye skills enough to teach a community class for a friend who has been asking me to for months. Thanks again! And can see how easy it would be to forget to flip the design when working inside out. I would do that.

Karen K ... you are welcome ... and yes I love what I do.... I have taught tie dye through school events and home parties for the last 15 years, so I think that set me up perfect to do these videos.... I do not plan anything in advance, other than what design I am going to do... so I just turn the camera on and then I do tie dye and explain what I am doing

Dear Mr. TieDye, I think GREAT minds think alike! LOL! I was having issues with gathering/folding the material, & was going NutZ. Well one nite after working THREE hours on a fold & still not completing it, I had a dream. Why not just use a running stitch thro the pattern that I wanted. (I'm doing Grateful Dead Double skulls, but wanted tie dye on rest of shirt) After I stitch both skulls, on top & bottom, I gathered the string & WELL, I'm a VERY happy camper on the outcome. THNX 4 UR videos. U R a TD Rockstar!! Peace!!

[@tonycaban5039]

Just when I start to think that I'm getting pretty good at tie dye, I had to go and watch this video! This should be really inspiring for Me, to see someone this advanced at their craft! But instead, I pretty much feel like quitting after watching this!! I feel like the level of skill needed to do this type of work is just simply unattainable for Me!

[@MrTieDye]

I apologize for that.... I am here to inspire people and as for stitching, that is just one small part of tie-dye ... just like ice dyeing, batik or low water immersion ..... just another way to go, but I try to do video on how to fold designs so people who do not want to try stitching can still have success with the things that interest them ... I have always been an explorer and love to try new things ... stitching is just one that I have been really good at... but it is not for everyone and it is not a way to measure yourself ..... so much beautiful tie dye out there and a small fraction of it is done with stitching ..... I have been at this for 19 years and came here to share my knowledge in the hopes of inspiring people..... so PLEASE do not quit .... just find the parts of tie-dye that you love and go for it :-)

[@tonycaban5039]

@@MrTieDye Don't get Me wrong, I'm really really glad that You do post this intricate stuff, and please keep posting more!! Nobody else seems to be willing to share how to do this stitching type of work! I was always curious as to how it was done, but had no clue how much labor and skill actually goes into it! It is truly inspirational to watch you work, but at the same time, it can be a bit discouraging seeing how good You actually are at it! I feel like I could tie and dye for 40 more years and never approach anywhere near the level that You are at!! Keep making videos, You truly are the most generous person on KZbin as far as tie dye techniques go!!

I felt called to be of service the World and Tie-Dye is the thing I know the most about, so with a little push from a few people asking me about videos within a couple weeks, I decided it was time to share my knowledge and KZbin seemed to be the obvious choice ..... but doing tie-dye in the schools for the last 15 years is what set me up perfect to make these videos .... I am NOT a public speaker and have always been shy ...... before each video, especially the Live videos, I am nervous.... but as soon as I hit the button, I feel like I am sitting at my table in school and I am just doing tie-dye and explaining what i am doing to a group of kids (all of your out there in the World) ... thank you and keep at it ... as for stitching, If people are interested, I recommend an easy pattern to start, like the leaf in the intro video

Amazing!! I have a rare disease that is turning my fingers all different ways, can i sewing machine be used or will it be to tight of a stitch?

[@MrTieDye]

in the past I thought about that, but I did not have a machine and did not want to buy one just to try it out ... I think the main thing is using a long stitch so there is room to pull the threads tight and have the fabric gathered up some ... you might try a simple design first just to make sure it is going to work before spending a lot of time on a complicated design ✌️

[@carlschmiedeke151]

So question, , could you use a sewing machine, an ( old Singer hand crank style ) to be able to set the gaps that are needed, to speed up the process, & do you think it would give you the same effect for the otter stitching, possibly, & so you did 2 shirts at once, your awesome, great work, & yeah, I did subscribe, & given you 10 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 up, & shared it, your amazing, thanks, 🤘🤙✌️

[@MrTieDye]

I have not tried a machine yet, but have been looking into it some to see if it will work... a longer stitch is the main thing ... so a hand crank machine may be just what is needed

[@Joodster]

MrTieDye , I don’t think the hand-crank Singers have a long enough stitch adjustment to accommodate a quarter inch spacing (hand crank and motorized are basically the same machine), but you can probably find a low-end modern machine that has a basting stitch setting that is more adjustable. I know my Brother machine does, but I got the high end one for garment sewing.

[@denasewell]

I know you have a business and make multiples you could do this on a sewing machine... I was curious and just tested it out it took literally 5 minutes for that design will all the lines once I marked out the triangle and lines..I stopped and cut the thread at the end of each line and left a 2 inch tail of thread. You have to put the lowest tension and the lest stitches per inch on the settings and of course you do not backstitch so the threads are open on each end...the threads pull beautifully sewers use this technique to gather fabric. This would be a way to make these faster! I enjoy hand sewing but sometimes it is nice to use the machine to cut the time down when you have to make so many ....There are 50 dollar machines or even a used machine or maybe your wife's sister or mother already has one you can use? I love love love this! I just ordered some dye and supplies I am gonna give a go! Thanks so much for the inspiration to try something new!

[@MrTieDye]

I have thought about trying a machine but I was not sure i could get the stitch length to what I needed, but then I never looked around much at them either.... I am glad it is working for you... have fun and if I get back into stitching, i may have to find a machine and try it out .... thank you and you are welcome

[@denasewell]

@@MrTieDye old machines are the best because they were built to last. Most machines have stitch length setting and how many stitches per inch setting and you will want to lower the tension...I think it is well worth getting a machine as it will cut your hand stitching to 1/3 of the time. old machines are at thrift stores and ebay super cheap and I like the old machines better because they were built to last!

[@TheDarkq14]

Could you make an Assassins Creed tie dye? Would you use stitching? Or regular pleating?

[@MrTieDye]

I looked at the symbol and if you are doing a large tapestry, you might be able to pleat it.... but to get the detail, especially on a tee, I would stitch it.... the symbol is not quite symmetrical, but close enough that I would fold the tee in half and just draw half of the image and then stitch it ....

Yes it is an Oscar Tee ... I stitched it in a similar manner as the DSOTM and the Pot Leaf tee... same method ... I folded the tee in half and drew half the Oscar on and then stitched the lines, then flipped it over and drew those same lines on the back side of the tee... then I stitched the inner lines to gather the larger sections of fabric... here is an older album of mine that has several stitch projects in various states of completion so you can see more details around the stitching process : facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4697029064004&type=3 I had planned to do a couple more stitched designs, but my hand are not up to the hours it takes to stitch anymore so I stopped doing them ...

[@robertvollmer8058]

So I get all excited about doing this shirt because I’m a huge DSOTM fan and I get started. Then halfway through I discovered that normal dye won’t adhere the same to synthetic fabrics, and I was using a 50/50 cotton/polyester shirt, which are what I prefer. I’m finding out that the colors won’t be as bright. Is there anything I can do to help improve my outcome? I haven’t dyed yet but I’m finished with the stitching.

[@MrTieDye]

I do not know of any dyes that work with the poly fabric in the same way that the Procion Dyes work with cotton ..... I know they make Pigment Dyes that work on poly fibers as well as natural fibers, but they do not provide the same color results as the Procion does, so I am not sure that you would get any brighter colors going with the pigment dyes or not. ........ www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-pigment-dye.html I would probably go with the Procion dyes and hope for the best ...... but at some point soon I will be trying out some of the pigment dyes as Dharma sent me a sample of the Flourescent colors of the pigment dyes to try

MrTieDye thanks for the reply. I bought some little packets at Joanns called Dylon, which says it works on blended fabrics, although it’s not specifically for tie dye. I’m gonna give it a try and if it looks halfway decent I’ll be satisfied. Either way, thanks for your channel.

Hola gracias x tus videos,un abrazo,la que traes puesta también es la misma tecnica

[@MrTieDye]

De nada, me encanta compartir mi conocimiento de este arte para ayudar a otros a tener éxito. Y sí, la camiseta que llevo puesta para la mayor parte del video también fue un diseño cosido.

[@grumpymush]

Amazing😍🙌What stitch design would you recommend for someone trying it for the first time? I'd like to give it a go but don't know which design I should attempt first😅

[@MrTieDye]

I would start with a design that can be folded in half to start you out .... here is my intro video on the pot leaf ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHrSoZ1sib-em9U ... but you can make anything that is symmetrical just because they are easier to handle

[@ashleyfennell50]

If I wanted a darker red could I take the color I have now and just add some black to it?

[@MrTieDye]

yes you can, but do it slowly, just a few drops at a time and then test a few drops on white paper towel

[@osirisserrano3771]

I love u mr tie dye i see u from mexico

[@MrTieDye]

Thank you, I love you too ... and hello for Oregon

[@SimonaLisaBuRR]

I bought a white dress (tight to the body)and i would like to tie dye it (of course lol) i want to do a double arc design (like your arc tee you did previously, but instead having an arc on each side of the dress instead of only one side) i am saving the dress to dye because i was hoping you could do a tutorial on how to do this pattern. I would be forever grateful since there is no tutorial on youtube that can guide me in that Direction 🕉🙏🏾🖤 many thanks!

[@MrTieDye]

I a not sure if I understand the design you want .... I have this arc or fan fold on a dress ...... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5bak5yLeaycqNk .... is this what you were looking for??

[@SimonaLisaBuRR]

@@MrTieDye I was looking to do a double arc. One on each side. Almost like an hour glass figure )(

If we have a sewing machine could we machine sew it on a longer stitch length or do you recommend to hand sew it only? Love your videos! Thanks!

[@MrTieDye]

I think you can use a machine, I do not have one so I have not tried it myself, but I think you would need one that does a long stitch ... and thank you.. I love to help other people have success with this art

[@bobrown6703]

Would you mind telling me what kind of dye you use and where you buy it from.

[@MrTieDye]

I use fiber reactive Procion Dyes ... the closest place to me is Dharma so that is where I buy most of my dyes .... www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html they are in CA so west coast shipping is decent priced also, I have bought some from Custom Colours in NC and Grateful Dye in CO ...

[@spyseefan975]

Hey boss, who is the Cameron tie dyer you mentioned? Got a link to any of their work? Also is there a reason to not soak in ash first? Is it just preference?

[@MrTieDye]

I do not recall who I was talking about.... do you know where in the video I mentioned him?? As for pre soaking.... I have tried it that way, but I found that a needle went through clean dry fabric much easier.... I tried stitching it wet and dry and neither way worked as well as a clean dry tee, plus I had it in my lap most times and the dry soda ash dust would come off the tee ... so mostly personal preference, but some safety as well 😉✌🏻🙏 and if you do know where I mentioned Cameron, post a new question as I will see that quicker than a reply on this question ✌🏻

[@kellyb5850]

Thanks so much for all of the videos! They're all amazing. Thanks also for mentioning Dharma Dyes. They are so much more vibrant than the dyes I had been using and they keep their brilliance! I really want to do the Dark Side of the Moon, but I have a dumb question. What is the thick water that you used?

[@MrTieDye]

you are welcome and wonderful, I love this design and have done many tees and taps with it ..... Here is my preferred method of how I make thick water/dye : kzbin.info/www/bejne/n57EhYuNmbN9itE here is another method for the thick water : kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqSQaJaFq7Jpqrc

Have fun

[@twinflamedivinefire59]

WOW!! Huge PF fan and LOVE this but out of my wheelhouse at the moment as I'm a novice, which leads me to my question so forgive me if you've addressed this already in a previous video. What brand of dye do you use? I have 4 colors at the moment (Fuscia, Turquoise, Jet Black and Lemon Yellow) by Jacquard Procion Mx. I am definitely on a budget but what would you recommend as a good basic set of colors to get rollin' with? Thanks for your videos as they're the best out there, in my humble opinion! THANK YOU and masterful work, holy schamoly!!! :-)

[@MrTieDye]

Thank you 🙏 I love what I do .... and that is a good start from r dyes.... I use Procion dyes and buy from Dharma .... the other secondary colors I buy are emerald green, plum purple and deep orange .... for black, I like raven, new and better black from dharma and I just mix all three powders together ..... and dharma has kits you can buy in various sizes, AND, they are on sale this month www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/kits/tie-dye-kits.html Custom Colors is another dye house other dyers back east buy from to save on shipping Thanks again... just sharing what I love as the world needs more rainbows and open minds

The threads are there own work of art its a shame you had to remove them

[@wolfboy8320]

I’ve rewatched to try to find the type of thread and needle you used but I keep missing it

[@MrTieDye]

I use upholstery thread and buy it at JoAnns ... I like the tan because it stands out against the white tee and then later when the tee is dye, I can still find the threads to cut them

[@wolfboy8320]

MrTieDye thanks!

[@sandrachase68]

Are the 2 shirts the same size or is the inner one smaller and by how much?

[@MrTieDye]

I do shirt that are either the same size, or one size smaller most of the time ..... but I have done a set of tees that were a 3X and a large

[@ElizabethMaliNesta]

We want to see how did you Fold the shirt

[@MrTieDye]

this tee was Stitched, not folded ... I drew the design on and then stitched all of the lines, then pulled the stitches tight to create the little folds... then I dyed it... I know it is a long video, but I show my whole process ✌️ ... PLUS, in the description box, there is a link to a Facebook album that has many photos of other stitch designs just to show some more detail of my process

[@jasonhochman3750]

do you thicken the dyes for designs like this?

[@MrTieDye]

for this design, I thickened the black, the grey and the I used some thick water for the white line.... the rest of the dyes have just a tiny bit of thickener in them ..... here is how I make the thick black dye ..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/n57EhYuNmbN9itE

[@jwcinc12]

such patience

yes these design take a lot of that... but it is also passion for what I do... I love the results I get from a stitched design so that makes it easier for me to hang in there :)

Is it possible to do this without all the filler stitches?

[@MrTieDye]

you can try.... but I put the filler stitches in because things get bunched up when you pull the threads tight and then it is difficult to see the dye lines .... but this i just how I do it so fell free to experiment with it and see what works for you
