Bleach Day -Fun With T-shirts 

Sure. You could get some interesting designs on pillow cases. We might just try it!

Thanks for your comments. I have friends who are venturing into cinch loom making. Their plan is to have one that folds in half so it can be shipped. Watch my Facebook page for info on if it's available. "Woods Canyon Woodworks and Weaving Center."

@@carolinespurgeon6016 will do and thank you.

The amount of bleach we use is very minimal. You can actually dilute it down to 5 parts water and one part bleach. Plus by letting it sit on the fabric only a couple of minutes it does no more damage than bleaching a load of wash. We also use bleach stop when we reach the desired color so it does not continue to bleach the fabric. We also paint and/or dye T-shirts but keep in mind that all dyes and paints you buy commercially contain chemicals. Ditto with all the clothes you buy. We also do "rusting" on fabrics, but again, rust is iron oxide, another chemical. So, I guess it's pick your poison? So, whichever method you use, just be careful of yourself and your environment. PS. We also use natural dyes periodically but they are not practical for everything.

@@carolinespurgeon6016 I suppose it is a cultural difference partly. Not all chemicals are the same and the dyes I can get here are not that toxic (I can use the indoors, they don't irritate my skin), bleach is actively discouraged to use at all to protect the water so its not the way I would go. On the other hand everyone as they like.

@@danielalaatz57 What country do you live in? I ask because in the US most municipal water districts use chlorine as the disinfectant in their water. And of course it is used in swimming pools and since the pandemic it is in sanitizing wipes and disinfectants used to clean hospitals, etc., etc., We can't get away from it. I filter it from my domestic water but am probably in the minority.

In Germany it's used in swimming pools and you can buy it as a sanitiser with warnings - most sanitisers even in hospitals don't contain chlorine. "Bleach" for clothes is free of chlorine in most cases. And I usually would not have it at home exept if there are problems with mould in the house.

@@danielalaatz57 Interesting. I'm afraid the US is far behind European countries when it comes to protecting its citizens from chemicals.
