I bought a few white shirts at Berea Christmas Country Dance School last year. I thought it would be fun to tie dye them. But it took a while to get all of the things together to do it. Namely lots of fun things to tie dye.
Tori also thought this was a great idea, and created a skirt and 2 pairs of really wild pants. Mary thought Tori's pants were so great that she decided to make a pair for herself. Tori and Mary had a great time last week creating patterns and sewing up the clothes.
So Saturday finally arrived, and the fateful tie dying was to take place. We went at it like most people would, fully engaged, and just enough knowledge to be dangerous! We checked out a few YouTube entries on various tie dye folds, and techniques, and then went to it!
Here are the results drying on the line today. (Click the picture for a LARGER view)
Of note to anyone who wants to do tie dyes - It takes longer than you might think. Set aside plenty of time to do the tying, the dying, and the 8 to 12 hour rest period, then time to rinse out the dyes, and then washing and hanging out the finished project.
It was a lot of fun, and I'm sure you will all see these various clothes around on Tori, Mary and myself.
