Today I wore my favourite shirt - a black t-shirt with white-circle tie dye patterns.
I bought it for 50 cents at an op-shop and wore it to my MGMT concert.
-Fold a piece of clothing in vertical pleats, and you'll end up with horizontal stripes. Horizontal pleats result in vertical stripes (more slimming, you know). Diagonal pleats make a nice effect.
-For the now-traditional spiral, you lay the garment on a flat smooth surface, smooth out all the wrinkles, then make a small pleat right across where you want the center to be. Grab the very center of that pleat with a clothes pin, and begin to twist. As you twist, pleats appear farther and farther away from the center; as these pleats get too large, split the pleats with your hands, keeping each fold the same height above the table, no more than one to two inches in height.

Now, I know the MGMT boys have swayed slight from their tie-dye days, but I couldn't resist in sharing this image.
Kittens,
