Old White band tees - salvageable?

6 replies

I have some old white band T-shirts which I love. Previously when they’ve been worn out. Greyed out etc I just get rid but now I’m old and nostalgic for the ones I didn’t keep and want to keep the ones I have but not just to wear in bed, I have way too many pyjamas.

im considering making them into vests for more versatility which will cut out some perilous staining but it still doesn’t deal with the murky dank greying.

what can I do to get them white again without ruining the prints?

Citric acid as a soak and sunshine brightens whites but not sure if it would ruin the image.

Worth a try. Thank you 🤩

I'd try oxyclean, also dry in sunshine.
If you can't get them bright, would you like to craft them into pillows or a quilt?

You could cut out the design and applique it onto a darker t-shirt or top.

I’ve thought about these actions and gone as far as cutting them out before but procrastination/ executive dysfunction just means I end up moving these fabric logos from box to box, house to house until I eventually feel stupid and get rid of them 🤣🫣

Cut to all the same size and make a blanket/quilt. A million tutorials online for sewing or no sew (knotting).
