Hello Readers. I love linen in the summer. It is so light and comfortable. I wanted to dye these linen pants and this pink cotton shirt at the same time. Let's see how linen and cotton take the dye and how they look after.
Before and after.
This pink shirt was so pretty but it got some kind of stain on it. I think it was my daughter's new jeans that bled out some dye in the washer. Could I dye the shirt and make the stain disappear?
Somehow I ended up with 2 pairs of linen pants. I must have over thrift shopped. That's OK, I can dye one pair and make them another color.
Would dark brown cover the stains and the tan linen? I thought it might so I tried it. I got my clothes wet, then removed them and added the dye. When the dye was mixed in, I added the clothes back in and let the washer do the work for me.
I also threw this white cotton shirt in just for fun. All these clothing items are natural fibers and I used dye for natural materials. There is dye for synthetics, it works great on any polyester material.
The stains are still very visible. I was sad about that. Maybe if I had used black dye? There are no guarantees with dye.
The pants and the other shirt came out great! I love brown and I was happy with this warm shade of chocolate that I got. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
