I think you should do it Thursday night because then you can leave the shirts to soak in the dye overnight (the longer the better) and then wash it on friday!. It only takes like 10 minutes to tiedye a shirt too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd start them as soon as possible so your dye will set before washing!. You may want to dry each color before retying!. I always liked doing that to keep from dying my hands (after I did that a few times; green for Valentine's Day, purple for prom)

Dye, set, heat dry, wash in cold saltwater, dry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
