Over-Dyed


 Over-dyed Shabby Chic Fabric fashioned into a girly gathered sleeve dress.



Sara from Road to the Heart overdeyed this lovely vintage frock. I love how she
kept the peter pan collar un-dyed!

Today I wanted to talk about over-dyeing prints and how it can breath new life
into a fabric. I am sure that many of you out there have experimented with Ritt Dye.
It is a pretty easy at home remedy to drab fabrics and unfashionable prints.
It is great for the recycle re-use movement, even an old sheet can be made
fabulous with just a bit of dye. Above is a dress I made out of some Shabby Chic
fabric, it was a white ground and looking a bit night gown-ish before I gave it a dye bath.
And I think that the dress Sara from Road to the Heart over-dyed is super cute!
