dying fabric

well....

the combo of hans, schnooze, and cam =

muy mal for my awesome

PB comforter

the one we got for our wedding

*from laura haws's momma and daddy

is discontinued

but this is kinda close

it was cream colored and so lovely.

but now there are stains all over

and rips

and it's shredding on the edges.

-

so cam and i decided with christmas money

we will pick a new one out.

but to make it last a little longer... i decided to dye it!!!
-

-

dying with RIT dye goes by poundage of fabric.

i had about 9lbs

but i knew i wanted grey.

but the grey they had was too light.

so i went with 1 bottle of black (for 2lbs)

and 1 box of pearl grey (for 1lb)

-

i followed the directions

for the washer

-

and it came out perfect.

the fabric is velvet on one side

and silky on the other...

the velvety side looks slightly purple, but i like it :)

the little white places are where there are holes :)

lovely.
