* requirement of the T-shirt:
- both used or new are fine
- if it is new, please wash once so that it can take the dye stuff evenly
- should be 100% cotton or natural fiber. Only natural fiber can take natural dye stuff.
- white color prefer, otherwise it will affect the obvious level of the pattern you made.
- a small logo or slogan is fine too.
- if you are unsure, feel free to email me for confirmation.
