Denim Days; The White Jacket

Hello Readers. I am on a denim binge. I found a great white denim jacket at a clothes swap this summer. I liked it but it was SO much stark white.  

I decided to play with the color a little. I had this bottle of "frost gray" dye from under the sink and wanted to try and get an ombre effect. I got my dye ready in a bucket and prepped my jacket for the dye.

    

I was going to dip the jacket in the dye a little bit at a time and let it soak in the dye for a few minutes. You can see the strange way I used hangers to lower the jacket. Every 10 minutes I added a new hanger so the jacket was deeper in the bucket. It took about an hour to finish completely.

    

Here is the color I got on the jacket. It seemed a little more light blue than the gray I thought I would get. I liked it though.

I rinsed and dried the jacket and it was ready to go. I didn't alter the size because I wanted to be able to layer it over sweaters and hoodies when it got colder.

Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.

*Year end update- This great jacket became my daughter's great jacket.
