SIMPLE STEPS

Nancy and Anne came over the other day to have a dye day in my studio. I was able to capture the step by step process of Anne's "refreshed" and fantastic  jacket.
We accordian-folded her well-worn white jersey jacket, clamped it tight and set it on a tray of black dye.

The result was a nice striped pattern with a lavender toned background.

Now, how to proceed? Fold, reclamp and put in another dye bath, or just re-dye....? Here's Anne's decision: a bright lime-green dye bath brings this old jacket a brand new life! Well done, Anne!
