I made a homemade t-shirt with different colors of permanent Sharpie marker, and would like to know how to wash it without smearing the marker and ruining the t-shirt?

Editor's Note: Many people have complained about this comment, stating that it removes the Sharpie instead of fixing it. Use caution if trying this tip.
Before washing, place it in a dishpan or bucket with 1 part white vinegar to 5 parts water for an hour to set the colors. Rinse thoroughly in cold water, then wash by itself, on permanent press cycle, cold water.

The vinegar mixture made the marker run all over the shirt. Do not do this!
