Product Information

To assess the damage, examine the fabric in a well-lit area. Look for any areas where the fabric has turned white or lighter in color than the surrounding areas. You may also notice that the affected areas are lighter in texture or feel thinner than the rest of the fabric.

Look for a fabric sealant spray specifically designed for use on fabric markers or pens. Wash garment before wearing to test durability Shuffle your fabric to the side with your tongs or spoon so you’re not pouring directly on the fabric. Mix thoroughly. You can help the fabric absorb dye more evenly and vibrantly by agitating your dye bath throughout the dye process, to ensure the dye is absorbed deep into the fibers. You’ll want to work with more dye than you think you need, and in a dye tub or pot that’s also larger than you think you’ll need to allow your denim to swim freely.

Setting and Sealing the Fabric Pen

Add your item to the dye pot, along with enough water for your item to swim freely. Heat the water to 54-60 degrees celsius (130-150 Fahrenheit) for fiber-reactive dyes and 185-195 Fahrenheit (85-90 degrees celsius) for acid dyes.

Maintain the temperature and stir frequently until the dye is absorbed. You’ll want to pay extra attention to the dye bath (agitating constantly and monitoring the temperature) for the first 20 minutes, but after that you can taper off, turning down the heat and stirring less frequently for a few hours. You can turn off the heat and allow it to sit overnight if required. Fabric marker pens are just what you need to add an artistic touch to fabric tote bags, plain t-shirts or tablecloths.

If you want to avoid the maths, Dharma Trading has a calculator that tells you how much dye to use based on the dye color and the weight of the item. Iron the fabric to remove any wrinkles and creases. This will help ensure that the dye is evenly absorbed by the fabric. Once the dye has set, you can wash the fabric in cold water to remove any excess dye. Be sure to use a mild detergent and avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the color and texture of the fabric.

So, take a moment to blend the color and admire your handywork!
