Hard Shirt into a Soft Vintage Feel Shirt? NO!

Update: IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!
I was sooooo hoping that it would!!! But, after all of that, I am still stuck with a "hard" color run shirt...I was really hoping it would work...maybe I did something wrong, but I followed the instructions...I guess it was too good to be true :(

Update: 2 days into the "brine"...Doesn't feel like anything is happening...still feels like a "hard" shirt!

A few weeks ago, I ran in Philly's Color Run. If you ever have the opportunity to do this race, I highly recommend it! It doesn't matter what ability level you are..you can run, jog, walk...crawl even if you wanted to...it really was the happiest 5k...

That being said, the shirt that came in our "swag" bag had less to be desired...(side note: any time I race I always look forward to the "swag" bag shirt, a personalized number bib, or if a medal is involved..sometimes those are the reasons why I sign up for a race...I know, pathetic...) Anyway, the shirt was a 100% cotton shirt...you can see it below:

I added the shirt to a container that had a quart and half of water and 3/4 cup of salt.

The recipe says the tshirt needs to say in this mixture for 3 days and then I will need to machine wash it with a "dash" of detergent...and then, I should have a tshirt with a "soft, vintage feel"

I will keep you updated! Fingers crossed!
