One boring summer day (June 30, 2011) we headed to Hobby Lobby to find something to do. We found a tie-dye kit and bought white t-shirts went to town dying them and everything else white we could find.
Olivia about to squirt the blue colored dye on her shirt which is all twisted up and rubber banded on the table.
Shaylee working on her masterpiece.
Chloe's is ready to sit and soak in the color for a few hours before we rinse.
We had so much fun doing the shirts that we dug through our closets looking for anything white. We had these white aprons left from Tess's 16th birthday party. So we tried a different style of tie-dye with them. Instead of one big twisty spiral, these would have rings of colors.
It's in the bag, resting.
The dye. We had lots of it!
It stains fingers too!
An apron I made for my mom for her birthday. It just faded from blue to green to yellow. It looke amazing BEFORE i rinsed it out. Then it faded like crazy cuz the apron was mostly polyester and that fabric just won't hold the dye like cotton does. Oh well, she still wears it!
Olivia rinsing out her shirt. I CAN'T WAIT!!
Shirts and pillowcases drying on our pool fence.
Ta da!!! Chloe's turned out great!
So did Olivia's, and her pillowcases done in two different styles.
This is a sheet one of the girls did that we sewed fleece onto the back of and made a blankie.
Olivia and I in my room sewing the back of her blanket on. Thanks for taking this picture Chloe.
Not sure what Chloe is thinking be apparently she had developed a new art form!
Great summer memories!
