I love Dharma Dyes and that is what I use! I use thier fiber reactive dyes- (click dyes, dye for tie dye, fiber reactive dyes). I know the color list seems overwhelming, but remember if you order your primary colors (they are noted when you are shopping) you can make a lot of other colors with those.so is Dharma the best dye...I went to their site..do you order directly from there? Which type do you use? then I want soda ash right?? Where do I get that...any other "MUST HAVES"??
Yeah I tried using them one when I was waiting for a dye order to come in- and did exactly that- filled them 3/4 full- I just love my colors super bright- and tulip dyes frustrate me! haha!
Hey did you get your Dharma order in yet???
Here is the front - close ups.
I tried this but my Mickey's do not look like Mickeys any idea what I did wrong? Did you sew stitches close together or farther apart? Mine look more like hearts than Mickey ears. I am going to try again and if it does not work out I may use fabric paid in the spot to trace the Mickey head so you can tell what it is suppose to be,
I am "dye"ing to see the Christmas Shirts!!! LOL I love the blue and green shades, that is exactly what I want. Once I see how the Christmas ones come out I will let you know what me and DS wants. Hunny doesn't like tie-dye-
I tried 2 and the first one looks like a big blue blob (yikes), I thought maybe too much dye. Then the second on was better, but the other colors started bleeding thru. Do you think I could do it reverse? Leave the Mickey head white and tie dye the rest of the shirt? I'm ready to throw in the shirt, lol
Hm. Could someone post a tutorial for the bullseye method?
I really want to try this, but I'm a little confused.
Thanks.
Ok - so I've been spying this thread and wanted to give it a try -
I am happy that the heads came out OK - but although the colors look OK in the pic - I really don't like the colors in person...
I WILL be making more - but what a mess!!
