Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.49,0:00:05.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi. You're watching Make Thrift Buy. A show
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.24,0:00:08.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where you send me clothes that you've found\Non the internet and I try my best to re-create
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.97,0:00:13.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,them. Today's challenge was sent in by chrisk\Ncupcakes, who asked me to re-create this t-shirt
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.80,0:00:18.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by The Left Bank which retails for 20 to 30\Ndollars with 18 dollars shipping on top of
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.62,0:00:20.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that if I wanted to buy it.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.20,0:00:21.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let's go get started.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.59,0:00:27.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First, I drew a city skyline shape onto a\Npiece of cardboard with pencil. I cut this
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.68,0:00:34.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out using scissors. Then I placed this half-way\Ndown on a slightly too-large black t-shirt.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.69,0:00:39.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I also taped the cardboard onto the shirt\Nwith the idea of keeping it in place.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.93,0:00:44.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I filled a spray bottle with some bleach,\Nput on a pair of gloves for safety, and I
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.67,0:00:48.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,started spraying the t-shirt with the bleach.\NI didn't really know how much bleach to use,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.96,0:00:54.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I kind of just went for it, spraying the\Nbleach on pretty liberally. I tried to spray
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.55,0:01:00.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the most bleach closest to the skyline\Nand less up at the top of the shirt. It slowly
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.92,0:01:03.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,started turning red wherever the bleach was.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.76,0:01:08.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then carefully tried to remove the cardboard\Nand this is where I realized I probably shouldn't
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.77,0:01:11.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have taped it down. So don't do that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.23,0:01:15.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But anyway, I then gave the shirt a good rinse.\NThen I chucked the shirt in the washing machine
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.42,0:01:19.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on its own for a really short cycle. Then\NI hung it out on the line to dry.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.85,0:01:22.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Unfortunately, some of the bleach made it\Nthrough to the back of the shirt. So I thought,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.98,0:01:27.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,“Next time I should put a piece of cardboard\Ninside the shirt to stop this from happening”.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.01,0:01:32.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For some reason, I then totally forgot to\Ndo this. I proceeded to repeat the same thing
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.35,0:01:39.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I did before, on the back of the t-shirt\Nthis time. At least I didn't stick the stencil
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.32,0:01:44.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,down on the shirt this time which made removing\Nthe stencil a lot easier.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.15,0:01:47.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I ended up with these areas where the\Nbleach went really blotchy which I think could
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.84,0:01:52.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,probably be fixed next time by being more\Ncareful to do an even spray across the shirt.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.21,0:01:56.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nonetheless, I rinsed the bleach off and I\Nhung it out to dry.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.20,0:02:00.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay. So the back sucks, but the front is\Nactually pretty alright.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.92,0:02:07.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Actually, looking at the original shirt, there's\Nbigger splotches on that shirt too. So, yeah.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.98,0:02:11.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I totally did the splotches on purpose?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.81,0:02:15.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then decided to make some of the splotches\Nmore obvious, or something. So I mixed up some
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.78,0:02:19.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,paint with a little bit of fabric medium and\NI started painting blotches onto the back
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.35,0:02:23.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the t-shirt. I then took some artistic\Nlicense and turned this blotch down here into
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.50,0:02:29.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a UFO. Then somehow that escalated fairly\Nquickly into a full-blown alien attack apocalyse
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.17,0:02:34.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,scene complete with falling asteroids and\Nburning buildings.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.53,0:02:37.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So yeah. That happened.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.72,0:02:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then decided that I would maybe just not\Ntouch the front at all and leave it as it
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.00,0:02:47.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was. So after setting the paint into the back\Nof the shirt using an iron, the last step
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.28,0:02:54.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was to cut the arms shorter. As t-shirt material\Ndoesn't fray, I simply rolled the sleeves
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.61,0:03:00.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over twice to cuff them.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.12,0:03:07.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[music plays]
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.66,0:03:26.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So... I'd say you probably can make this yourself\Nand, if I was to do it again, I would remember
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.59,0:03:31.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to put some cardboard inside the shirt before\NI spray it with bleach. That was my main problem.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.91,0:03:37.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But yeah, for 3 dollars, I'm pretty happy\Nwith it. So-

Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.40,0:03:42.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if you wanted the real-deal, then I would\Nsuggest checking out Left Bank's website-
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.88,0:03:46.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the designer who made the original t-shirt.\NThe store's actually run by an independent
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.99,0:03:51.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,designer who hand-makes the stuff themselves\Nand isn't even terribly expensive. So it's
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.67,0:03:54.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a pretty cool company to go and support if\Nyou can afford to.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.82,0:03:59.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Although, theirs is missing a crucial alien\Napocalypse scene on the back. Anyway, if you
