are sharpies washer proof?

has anyone ever washed a shirt decorated with a sharpie marker...are they wash proof?

You are better off getting tshirt markers....but yes sharpie does not come out in the wash.

thank-you...

my daughter has a huge gymnastic meet coming up and Carly Patterson will be there signing autographs and my daughter wanted to have a t-shirt signed and usually at these events they are signing with a sharpie...I figured I should ask as it would be my luck to get the whole shirt prepared and then have it wash out on the first wash...

THANKS:love:

Sharpie does fade over time which is why the fabric markers are a better choice for tees. It does take many washings but eventually it will start to fade. My daughters have some tees with sharpie signatures from school and Girl Scout events.
