Indigo Tie Dye in the Summer
it was a fun experience . with the nice weather continuing here in Vancouver, tie dye is the must do it right away kind of activity.
my kit arrived 20 days after order putting in. I think shipping to Canada just takes longer.

I dyed 3 times and with the weather being too hot I think the Vat gone bad eventually. I was able to test some of the natural fibre materials. like 100%pima cotton, is not cotton. it didn’t absorb any of the color.
next time I will be planning ahead a bit more more and buy some new fabric to try different pattern ideas.
this time all things are improvising, finding anything that is visible.
I am happy with all the result though. there are some not in the picture. the linen tank top and the linen dress are my favorite, the red raw silk fabric needs to be sewn in to a dress… I have my white cotton bad sheet dyed, also a crew neck sweater with little embroidered bears. the crew neck is not 100% cotton in content, still it caught some color and looks nice.
what I learned, first thing of all is that, I, for sure, need some fabric shopping!
next time, I should definitely do it with some friends. the waiting for the oxidize time can be used to do some yoga or tea drinking or even sewing !
