The 2nd Annual Katie's Quilts and Crafts TIE DYE PARTY was a success!!
We use only the highest quality dyes, and do our dyeing the "professional" way, complete with all the high-tech chemicals and whatnot ;c)
In the past I have always used dharma, or Jacquard procion mx dyes, this is the first time trying the "
Grateful Dyes." I am now a FAN! This is certainly the best dye session I have ever had. They are SO bright, and the wait time is much shorter.
Here's some photos:
Here's my package from GRATEFUL DYES!! Pretty ROYGBV
Me mixing up the chemical water - soda solution.
All the girls busy making their tie-dyes.
Heather and Lauren, happy in their colorful mess ;c)
I find it best to lay down some plastic (a garbage bag ripped open) then lay down a towel, and then do your dyeing on top of that. The towel will soak up the excess dyes, so your garment doesn't get muddy. I happen to LOVE my tie-dyed towels and use them daily ;c)
I use an old drawer to nothing for my dyes
Washing your dyes in the washer. . the water is black ;c)
