it is really rate to see blue and yellow sleeve and white body. I am afraid finished tees will not be good for dying again, it is difficult to handle. Get 3 different colors fabric, and sew them all into a tee.
custom t shirt dying
I AM NOT LOOKING TO TIE DYE MY SHIRTS!!
what i am looking to do is have lets say a blue body 1 blue sleeve and then have the other sleeve be yellow. Does anyone know where this can be done or do i have to buy white t shirts and then dye them?

I don't think anyone can dye it that way. Print maybe but the outcome won't be as desirable as custom order shirts sewn that way.
It could be done, but it would be tedious. The suggestion to just manufacture with different colored fabrics is probably the best solution.
As far as I know, the entire colorless fabric is washed, bleached, and soaked in tank for a dye bath at high temperature, or at least that is how we used to do it so you can't re-dye just the body and one sleeve of a sewn and dyed shirt this way.
I know there are different methods of dyeing but I know they all entail soaking the entire fabric in a liquid dye. If a shirt can be dyed in such a way that only the body and a single sleeve is "colored" then it can be done. But if it entails printing or applying a color over a garment I don't think that is dyeing.

Full immersion dyeing is not the only way to dye fabric or garments nor do all dyes require high heat. Where there is a will, there is always a way. And it does not have to involve a printing process (although it can as dyes can also be printed).
You could always dip dye, maybe using a wax resist or something on the edge so you get clean lines. Like PJ said... tedious, but not impossible (just crazyAs far as I know, the entire colorless fabric is washed, bleached, and soaked in tank for a dye bath at high temperature
).Obviously I agree with everyone that the only practical way to do this is to make the shirt that way in the first place.
Yes, I've heard of dye baths at room temperatures.Full immersion dyeing is not the only way to dye fabric or garments nor do all dyes require high heat. Where there is a will, there is always a way. And it does not have to involve a printing process (although it can as dyes can also be printed).
