In my longest running project yet, I explore how hard it would be to make a simple graphic tee shirt from scratch by growing my own cotton, spinning and weaving it and then dyeing and printing on it.

Can't believe you dedicated 3 years to make a t-shirt.

Nicholas Marzouca - 2019-10-22

Imagine if he spilled coffee on it

Mk2017 K - 2020-03-30

Extra schmedium t shirt! Nice work!

mandarin125 - 2020-05-29

He didn't dedicate those 3 years. That would imply it was his first priority. It was more like a side project.

Bandoot - 2020-06-04

I wonder if it was worth it

FATTER GUY - 2021-01-31

Bro someone travelled half the world to make a Earth sandwich.
A lot has happened.

colorbar.s - 2019-08-27

"nice shirt, where'd you get it from?"
"I made it myself a actually"
"that's so cool! I love sewing"
"no, no, I mean we literally grew cotton plants and spent 3 years and 5k making this shirt without using any technology"

Joshua - 2020-01-13

*modern technology

rohan dutt - 2020-04-08

He didn’t spent 5k , it worth 5k that include labor , cotton seed , loom and spinner thing

julie Wallis - 2020-06-02

colorbar.s thanks for mansplaining that!

William White - 2020-06-10

R W - 2019-09-16

Can we just appreciate how that lady made a textiles machine from scratch herself that works at a really good standard. That's insane

Acid smokemachine - 2020-04-16

Props, take some brains to pull that off.

Death To Normality - 2020-06-04

Its really not that hard man, my peoplr have been doing it forever

b - 2020-06-24

@Death To Normality do it

Scott Whitley - 2020-07-29

Death To Normality do it then

One day No reason - 2021-02-07

@Death To Normality yeah it literally took her some googling and cutting wood with power tools. Nothing too bad.

Someguy Studios - 2019-10-11

I was thinking it would be literally forming a t shirt in chemicals

SapphFire - 2019-11-16

Sounds like something the channel "The Thought Emporium" would do in 10 years

Bi Cuber - 2020-02-23

It is actually in chemicals (everything is chemicals)

spitbukket - 2020-04-18

Yeah lmao I thought it was gonna be small and they'd have to grow it like a plant lol

King Jackson I Guillory Of France - 2020-06-08

@Lps Coco and Roxy all the burgundy colored ones, they're the best!

Puff - 2020-06-15

I was thinking "how tf is he gonna breed a plant to make a whole shirt lol"

Caleb Daly - 2019-10-18

bruh this dude literally outsourced his own sweat shop worker. God bless you Annalise

華明薇カーラ - 2020-04-23

Why outsourced? what do you mean? Sorry I am new to this channel and want to understand

Brody Lockley - 2020-05-08

華明薇カーラ go away

KillerNoob2099 - 2020-05-30

@華明薇カーラ By outsourced he means he had help or someone else do the t shirt for him.

HunterUnknown - 2019-10-15

I love how this is a “How To” video, like I’m gonna do this

K. - 2020-08-29

I would do this actually, to start I have a single cotton plant in my property 😂

stubbs - 2020-09-16

It only tastes like 3 years

Doctor Death - 2019-09-01

Just imagine spending 3 years on a t shirt and making it the wrong size
Boy someone gonna get stab

Cristaliana Ivor - 2019-09-08

they probably made the mistake to take a pattern made for stretchy fabric. since they wove it it wont stretch therefore the pattern ofc needs to be bigger. also its quite possible that it also shrank a little bit when beeing mutilated with hot fluids...

LarryH54 - 2019-09-24

But it fit 3 years ago...!

peety 63 - 2019-09-28

How to make your own t-shirt from scratch:


Step 1: Burn yourself out on farming.


step 2: Get other people to make the shirt for you.


Enjoy!

Ash Atteberry - 2019-08-28

Dude. How the hell do you have the continuing motivation to do a 3 year long project and film it all?!

Marx Gedeon - 2019-11-16

NotA Programmer what does make us for watching it ?

Leader Bad - 2019-12-25

@NotA Programmer in that case you are Even bigger loser for watching a loser

Dehzo - 2020-01-12

NotA Programmer how does having motivation and skill make him a loser?

Pandaguan - 2020-03-24

@Dehzo he only have motivation. . . Annalise got the skills

Dame S - 2021-01-04

I mean the views of this video alone, I’d assume, mass to an amount of money that would be a little bit worth 3 years of your life.. and ur learning a skill..

Daniel Hernández - 2019-09-07

I SMILED SO HARD WHEN SHE SAID THE NAME WAS FLORENCEEEE AHHH THATS SO CUTE

Jarod Rodgers - 2019-08-30

Police pulls him over
Police-Sir what’s in your trunk
Him-Oh just cotton plants

LarryH54 - 2019-09-24

I'm surprised the dye plants and bugs weren't confiscated at the border...

꧁GDolphinz꧂ - 2019-09-29

LarryH54

Border agents: i don’t get paid enough for this, go ahead

ima blank_person - 2019-11-25

Can we get 5000 Subs With No Video - 2019-08-27

Who else had no clue what the title even meant😂

Cantaloupe - 2019-09-24

lol, yeah I thought it was a typo at first, “Grow your own T-shirt business”.. And then when the video started I thought it was some kind of science experiment t-shirt that literally grows on it’s own somehow into a t-shirt.

ChugNut Is Here - 2019-10-07

I thought they created a gucci tree that took 3 years to grow and had gucci products as flowers

I'm a fuckin rock. - 2019-10-10

I thought he was gonna grow it from some kind of tiny animal, like fungus or cells or something. Lol

Someguy Studios - 2019-10-11

@I'm a fuckin rock. Same!!

Jayden - 2019-11-25

Imagine planting t-shirt seeds and in the summer they sprout into a tree that had t-shirts hanging from it

Justin Lelbach - 2019-09-13

Wow, that Annalise chick is incredible in every way! <3

Justin Lelbach - 2020-09-24

@Jam Mehrmann just what does "simp" mean to you, are you just repeating what other keyboard warriors are saying to others? What is your goal in blandly saying this to a stranger on the internet? Are you trying hurtful, if so, why? Why would you do that to someone who's only guilty of saying something kind to someone else? I'm sure you're actually a nice person, we have enough assholes in this world, be yourself.

Jam Mehrmann - 2020-09-24

@Justin Lelbach I said it due to the heart but I am sorry and forgivefule to u so (if you don't tell any C virus jokes) and yes i liked Annalise too but I thought you were that kind of person which you are not and no I ain't no keyboard warrior

Justin Lelbach - 2020-09-26

@Jam Mehrmann very well. Thank you.

Jam Mehrmann - 2020-09-26

@Justin Lelbach I miss her as much as you probably

One day No reason - 2021-02-07

@Jam Mehrmann . She doesn't even want to be called a woman anymore 😂 girl has issues. Nothing to miss.

yomanglo - 2019-08-31

Annalise is the MVP! That loom design looked amazingly complex and did a wonderful job.

Syx - 2019-08-31

Doctor: you only have 3 years to live

Me:grows a t-shirt

Hypepotatoe - 2019-08-21

See your problem was that you accidentally planted a die garden instead of a dye garden

hahahanah - 2019-08-28

Ba dum tss

Decoy Gale - 2019-09-01

I genuinely laughed.

jo - 2019-09-01

Decoy Gale so did I. I’m still chuckling!

Clinton Fernandes - 2019-09-07

Same with the cotton he grew. It barely caught-on

Butters Stotch - 2019-09-09

Hehehe

Something Seems Off - 2019-08-27

Today I learned that cotton plants have beautiful flowers!

Pneumarian - 2019-09-04

Yeah, they're a close relative of hollyhocks (& okra.)

B E - 2020-12-21

@Pneumarian Yup, in the Hibiscus family.

Pneumarian - 2020-12-21

@B E wow, I'd probably heard that before, but was not aware! Awesome!

Bobby Hill - 2019-09-07

Nobody:

YouTube: yooooo, want to see a single man fabricate a t-shirt from raw materials?

More like a single man plus analise

DominusGlitch it was correcting the joke to make it more funny there no joke wooshing above the head

AidenIsB4d - 2019-10-01

Imagine him already making the shirt and then by the time he’s done it doesn’t fit

Patrick Norman - 2019-08-26

Why didn’t he just use bonemeal. Smh

Automic1324xxy - 2019-11-22

mandarin125 - 2020-05-29

@Skelton Slay8er why would he need a sword in peaceful?

cheesecake1monster - 2019-09-23

Did Annalise make the yarn too? Seems like the guy only planted some seeds and then painted graphics on lmao

The_Derpy_Dragon - 2019-09-30

I read the title
ME: 'Excuse me, GROW?!'

Jomaster The Second - 2019-09-03

"Nothing really grew. Everything dyed."

Alklazaris - 2019-09-05

It's people like this that give me hope that if we get knocked back to the stone age we don't all die naked and hungry.

Mei Cervantes - 2019-09-09

Now it’s time to make the dye

Minecraft players: That’s easy just kill some squids

Charlink09 !? - 2019-11-14

T-shirt: I’ve seen things

The Black Baron - 2019-08-31

You're a ceiling cat, you shouldn't have to worry about things on the ground.

Gyro Poodle - 2019-09-20

Right? Just imagine. The process these weavers had to go through and other workers had to go through. No wonder clothing was so precious if you were born under/found yourself in less privileged circumstances and before all the modern tools created for each era to make the process easier. I'm just blown.

Wakes up the tumeric,
“hey, I need you”,
Tumeric... “oh hey man! Nice to see you again...”
“I need you for dying my shirt.”
Tumeric “nah man, stuff that.”
Goes back to sleep.

Brian Lockwood - 2019-09-22

Historically the Nordics grew hemp for their fabric needs. I wonder how the process would have been different if you hadn't used cotton?

Ku ba - 2019-08-28

Okay YouTube, i watched the video, pls don't haunt me anymore
