I have a black 100% cotton t shirt that I want to shrink up. Its cool, but its just too fucking big. Its about 6" too big around, and about 5" too long.

I just microwaved a cup of water for 3 minutes til it was boiling, and I put it in a glass bowl with my shirt, and put the lid on the bowl. Its been in there about 3 minutes so far. How much longer should I wait to take it out?

I just dumped in the second cup 2 minutes ago. Its been in hot water about 10 minutes. Some of the black dye is leeched into the water. If it wasn't 2 am I would throw the shirt in a pot of water on the stove, then shrink it in the dryer.

I don't care if the shirt shrinks a bunch. Its huge right now. I want more of a rockstar fit.

yeah not a bad idea... it just depends how exact you want the size. but its hard to get it right. meh whatever have fun.

It wasn't shrinking, so I just threw the bowl and shirt in the fucking microwave, and set the timer for 5 minutes. Hopefully it doesnt get fucked up. If it does, oh well.

Microwaving a shirt? Okay...

I had a friend who microwaved his wallet after he got it wet. He forgot about his credit cards and such, they were all fried. And he also had one of those metal rings so you can put a chain on it. Lets just say his microwave got fucked up.

I also need to shrink one of my shirts so this is what you do

put it in the washer at max heat, then line dry (don't do the dryer as that will stretch it)

BAM!

How bout hanging it in my room?

Is the prolonged heat better than a short burst of intense heat, or does it not shrink until it drys?

Ill update this in a few hours with pics when Im successful.

im pretty sure youd have to put it through the dryer at some stage...other than that no idea...good luck though
