Tie Dye
My husband and I were invited to a 70s birthday party this last weekend. I had to take the opportunity to try out some tie-dyeing!
I found a white shirt for my husband at a local charity shop. It was the right size and in good condition. I washed it well, then tied concentric string circles on the back and front and stripes up the sleeves.
I boiled it in navy dye on my stove for about 15minutes.
I rinsed it and couldn't wait to clip the string to see the result. I was pleased with the way it turned out - an understated tie dyed shirt.
I have some more tie dyeing ideas in my head, which I am keen to try out now!
