I’m hoping it wasn’t beginners luck!</p> <p><b>Stylefan</b>….sounds like the perfect project. If it’s cotton, the hardest thing will be deciding what colour! The rit web site has all kinds of useful info, and there are lots of YouTube videos. And there is our resident Expert dyer, Brooklyn who has amazing knowledge.<br />But beware…today I bought a stainless steel stockpot from Canadian Tire…not for lobster cooking, but synthetic materials require a constant heat source during the dying process. So I picked up this pot…just in case. Tonight at dinner, I flipped over the placemat and noticed it was 100% cotton….I may need an intervention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-dye-inspired-by-brooklyn/page/2#post-2260723 Sat, 23 Apr 2022 20:12:35 +0000 Style Fan 2260723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am inspired.&nbsp; I have a white denim jacket that I have never worn.&nbsp; The white is too bright for me.&nbsp; The wheels are turning.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-dye-inspired-by-brooklyn/page/2#post-2260386 Fri, 22 Apr 2022 00:24:21 +0000 Barbara Diane 2260386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color!

I don't know if I"m going to try a dye project but I am tempted. And won't be using the washing machine, either.

And it would take a leap of faith to do this in a rental situation! Honestly, now that I’ve used a plastic tub, I think I might prefer the tub method as you can see what’s happening with the colour. Just be sure it doesn’t leak.</p> <p><b>Brooklyn,</b> I’m in awe that you could just whip up a dye project over your lunch hour! Props!</p> <p><b>Carla</b>, I’ve got a bit of cycling gear in neon colours for visibility, but I’m thinking I need to add more of it to my non workout wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-dye-inspired-by-brooklyn#post-2260179 Wed, 20 Apr 2022 10:21:12 +0000 Lana 2260179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful results! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-dye-inspired-by-brooklyn#post-2260162 Wed, 20 Apr 2022 04:22:53 +0000 Kate 2260162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous result—that's a stunning apple green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-dye-inspired-by-brooklyn#post-2260160 Wed, 20 Apr 2022 04:05:35 +0000 Anonymous 2260160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yet another Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-dye-inspired-by-brooklyn#post-2260157 Wed, 20 Apr 2022 04:03:05 +0000 CarolS 2260157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adding another 'wow' to the mix.

(It's not in #7 right? I'm assuming that's during the dye process). </p> <p>I don't think I'd have the guts to dye in a washing machine either, considering that I rent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-dye-inspired-by-brooklyn#post-2260138 Wed, 20 Apr 2022 01:45:35 +0000 Jaime 2260138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic!

Hope I can duplicate the results!<br /><b>Fash</b> isn’t the colour fun? And thank you for the HW flare jean love!<br />Thanks <b>Sal</b>, I was a bit apprehensive, but figured I really had nothing to lose.<br />Thank you <b>Vildy</b>! I think all my sweaters are nervous wondering who will be next…<br /><b>Brooklyn</b>! Wow! This was really a blast and I’d definitely give it another go. I wish we had more dye selection, seems that the stores in my area only carry 30 shades. I have watched Trinny, and I can certainly get behind her neon philosophy.<br />Ha <b>Jenni</b>! I just crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. Yes merman was very nervous, volunteered to buy me a new sweater, but I told him that wasn’t the point. Sure he said, ruin a washing machine to save a sweater from being donated. There was much head shaking… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-dye-inspired-by-brooklyn#post-2260127 Wed, 20 Apr 2022 00:00:08 +0000 Jenni NZ 2260127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a perfect match for bag in pic 1! Was that planned?<br /> I am amused that Merman would not let you use the washing machine. My husband would be similar I’m sure since I am so impractical and make a mess of jobs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-dye-inspired-by-brooklyn#post-2260126 Tue, 19 Apr 2022 23:57:07 +0000 Brooklyn 2260126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! That turned out fantastic! All the stylings look great. </p> <p>Do you watch Trinny on Closet Confessions? She adores neon and says it is THE way to make a classic outfit look modern. </p> <p>And thanks for the shout out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-dye-inspired-by-brooklyn#post-2260124 Tue, 19 Apr 2022 23:49:37 +0000 Vildy 2260124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a stupendous success - that color is amazing on you. </p>
