First time tiedying and my shirt came out just OK, a lot of white left on it. How can I fix it?

Dye it again! Tie-dyeing the same piece twice can produce great results.

Next time, you may wish to be much more careful to insert the nozzle of the squirt bottle deeply into the folds of the fabric, and apply plenty of dye.

You MUST use fiber reactive dye, such as Procion MX dye, if you want good results in multicolor tie-dyeing. Do not use all-purpose dye for tie-dyeing.
