I love seeing your process and the results are TDF. Your use of color is really fab--when I used to dye stuff a lot, I found it hard to get just the right tone I wanted, but your colors look beautiful, and work so well with your gorgeous array of print skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-shibori-tie-dye-part-2/page/2#post-2253565 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 14:30:32 +0000 unfrumped 2253565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plonk!

In the 90s I used to do a lot of tie dying with bleach. I even free-hand painted some black converse sneakers with bleach, and the results were awesome. You might try that if you have some tees where you like the base color but want to add pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-shibori-tie-dye-part-2/page/2#post-2253358 Sun, 27 Feb 2022 02:31:40 +0000 Jaime 2253358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous results and I am full of admiration with how you turn your need for distraction into a creative outlet with beautiful results. So much healthier than eating popcorn and staring at the internet. Referring to a "friend" of course . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-shibori-tie-dye-part-2/page/2#post-2253357 Sun, 27 Feb 2022 01:55:40 +0000 Sal 2253357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting to see.

I love everything here - big fan of your artistic talents @Brooklyn!<br />Amazing results and gorgeous outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-shibori-tie-dye-part-2#post-2253282 Sat, 26 Feb 2022 05:23:21 +0000 Brooklyn 2253282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The other thing I should mention, for anyone thinking of trying this, is that you should treat any home dyed item as non-colour fast for the first few washes after you dye it. So wash it with similar colours, or darks. I have tried using dye fixative but haven’t noticed much difference. Better safe than sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-shibori-tie-dye-part-2#post-2253281 Sat, 26 Feb 2022 05:13:53 +0000 Brooklyn 2253281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary Beth, I dye the tees in the machine for about an hour on 40C using RIT liquid dye. I’m not game to try 60C because I think it might shrink the tees. I start the cycle, then pause it immediately, open the door when the safety catch allows it, add dye, salt and a drop of detergent. Close the door, restart the cycle. (I don’t add dye through the washing powder dispenser because I think it would stain it.) I have tried using a bucket instead but the results tend to be less saturated. Plus I have a teeny tiny (all white) laundry so it makes me anxious to have buckets of dye sitting around. </p> <p>The big issue with using a machine is that dye residue can remain in the machine. I always wipe it out afterwards, especially the door. Then run a load of darks. Even so I have occasionally had some dye persist over a few washes. Our sheets recently took on a pinkish hue, which is probably my bad. So care is required! I wouldn’t use the machine if I wore a lot of white (fortunately I don’t). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-shibori-tie-dye-part-2#post-2253280 Sat, 26 Feb 2022 04:59:16 +0000 Brooklyn 2253280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>Part 3 is underway and I am trying 2 new patterns. Sneak preview below :)</p> <p>The copper-green version is my favourite in this batch too, which is amazing considering I did not like it when I first unwrapped it. I am learning a lot through this exercise about colour theory, or how one colour affects another. The green of the tee toned down the red in the oxblood dye mix (because they are complimentary colours), so the tee looks much browner than version 1. </p> <p>I started off using old tees in this endeavour but as of this weekend I’ve run out of old white tees, so I’ve had to buy some more. I have a few more patterns and colours I want to try before I call it quits for the summer. </p> <p>Xtabay, I am deliberately trying to match the colours to my skirts so it is, as you say, a great way to de-orphan a skirt. I think of tie dye patterns as fairly neutral, like stripes, so they work well for mix and matching.</p> <p>Joy, yes, I do use rubber bands to create the stripes. Folds also have a role in creating the diagonal effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-shibori-tie-dye-part-2#post-2253278 Sat, 26 Feb 2022 04:55:33 +0000 rachylou 2253278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m impressed how straight the horizontal lines are!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-shibori-tie-dye-part-2#post-2253269 Sat, 26 Feb 2022 03:01:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2253269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are so cool and just gorgeous, alone and in your outfits!

I like the copper-green one the best, perhaps because coppery bronze tones are faves of mine too. They all go so well with your gorgeous skirts! Did you use new or old T-shirts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-shibori-tie-dye-part-2#post-2253252 Sat, 26 Feb 2022 00:14:18 +0000 Dottie 2253252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything is just so lovely. &nbsp;They all look like successes to me!

I love how you are making your formula work so well with these DIY projects. You've truly inspired me for a summer look -- I don't know if I will be able to find the skirts I want and I'm pretty certain I wouldn't be able to dye tees as well as you do, but I'm strongly considering this formula. I especially love the diagonal stripes and the pattern/ colour in #9. It's fun seeing them in their different combinations with the skirts, too. Thank you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-shibori-tie-dye-part-2#post-2253245 Fri, 25 Feb 2022 22:29:29 +0000 Chiara 2253245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fascinating post, excellent results.
