September 5th- tye dye!

Dyed some fabric and clothes today!

This is about 2 1/2 pots of boiling water, about 1/2 of cup of salt( I didn't measure, I just poured salt into a plastic storage container and brought that outside), and 1 packet of Royal Blue RIT dye from JoAnn Fabrics

Royal Blue!

I let everything sit for about 30 minutes and stirred it about every 10 minutes. I then emptied that out and then added some cold water and let everything sit in that for about 10 minutes. I poured that water out and squeezed the water and any excess dye from all the items and then another cold soak for about 20 minutes. I hung everything up outside and let them dry before I threw them in to the washing machine and washed them in cold water with detergent.

Left to Right:
-This piece of fabric was a really weird off-blue color and I didn't really like it. I tied the corners in knots and tossed that into the bucket
-This was a Black and White Zebra print, but now it's this really awesome Blue and Black Zebra print fabric and I can't wait to use it
-The 3rd item over was a white shirt that I had to get for a job. I hate wearing white and so I haven't really worn this shirt since I got it in May, but now it's this awesome marbled blue. I didn't knot or rubberband this, i just threw it in the bucket

So know I have 2 pieces of fabric that I'll be using this month in some projects!

What are you going to make this month?

Farmers Market and Summer Goodies-pt2

I put my heart and my soul into my work and have lost my mind in the process -Vincent Van Gogh I am going to have to buy another bin to store my completed projects in. Im not sure of the size of my current one, but it's a pretty decent size and it holds everything(so far). They make for great traveling when I go to farmers markets and to family affairs. -- I have decided that I am going to do the farmers market again this year. I was debating for awhile due to Saturday conflicts, but I might as well just do it so I can sell my stuff and get it out there. sooooo, Here is a coupon that you can use! just print it off(it doesn't have to be in color, black ink is fine) and come to Lansing Farmers Market on Saturdays starting this Saturday(June 10th) from 9am-12:30p! It's at the Town Hall/Library parking lot (near the baseball fields. Just look for all the tents and orange cones marking off the pedestrian only area. Hope to see you there!
