I'm going to use cyanotype to make t-shirts for my family reunion that's coming up.
I was introduced to cyanotype about a year ago and used it on sketch paper. It is recommended that you only used paper which is at least 40 lb because of the soaking process. The paper I used was 65 lb and that worked really well. If you do use fabric, make sure it's 100% cotton. If it's spandex or something like that, the chemical might not be absorbed and it will not work that well.
Also, since I used a stencil instead of a negative, I was able to leave it in the sun unattended. If you use a negative, then you'll have to keep an eye on it as well as use a contact printer.
