Since having the baby, I haven't had much time for crafting. He is 5 months old and it seems the spark is back. I have been shopping Etsy like crazy, and pinning patterns and tutorials on Pinterest. A couple of days ago I rounded up some of my stained white things that I just didn't have the desire to soak the stains out of AGAIN and broke out my dye stash.
The main "victim" for this particular dye party was a white peasant style skirt. Cute skirt but every time I wore it, I seemed to pick up a new spot or stain. I envisioned this skirt with a nice gradation dye job, in what other color but PURPLE!
Here is my skirt now:
Never one to waste if I can help it, I took the dye after the skirt was done and practiced two more techniques, plain ol' tub dyeing, and low water immersion and got these:
A mama t-shirt and matching kid t-shirt, four prefolds and one flat. Much better than the colorless versions for sure.
Next up, dusting off the sewing machine! I have new patterns and an overflowing fabric stash calling my name.
