More tiedye

Eeek I haven't blogged in almost 2 weeks. Not sure what happened but I just got busy and never found time to download, sort, edit, and blog my photo's. Anyway here are a bunch of catch up posts. I thought about doing one mega catch up post, but there are a few different projects to blog about and I like to put them in separate posts.

First up, last weekend we had a little friend over for a sleepover with the promise that we would do some more tiedying. Ever since the last time I've wanted to do it again and so have the kids. They love their tiedye shirts.

This time we had only 4 kids tshirts (one for each kid) and were hoping for lots of really intense colour because we didn't have to make the dye go so far. At the last minute I grabbed a yard of quilters cotton and a bought a pair of cotton boxer shorts.

Elizabeth (above) and her friend went for the classic spiral tiedye pattern and they were really happy.

This is what I did with the yard of white quilters cotton. I tried out a pleated pattern. I didn't take enough care to keep the colours separate in this project and it ended up a bit too murky and muted for my taste.

This is Georges tshirt. I'm a bit partial to the classic bulls eye pattern using a simple 'rainbow' order for the colours.

Matilda decide to try out a mirror image pleat. It worked out well, bu probably is my least favourite 'style' of tiedye.

Here is DH's new undies! Sorry ladies, no modelled shots of these LOL. I also did a mirror image pleat tie on these, but stuck with simple rainbow stripes.

Funny story... the day after we finished the tidying DH took his new jocks in his sports bag to soccer. Matilda went along too and during the game, proudly took out the undies to show all the other kids the tiedying we had done! I suppose putting pictures of them up on this blog isnt much better!
