DIP DYE

More chic than a tie-dye and easy to make....

Dip-Dye with Fabric Dye

Tools and Materials

Sheer jersey long-sleeve T-shirt, in light tone
Large plastic storage bin or steel bin
Stir stick
All-purpose liquid dye
Sample fabric or paper towel
Sewing pins

How-To:

1. Wash and dry fabric to remove any finishes that resist dye. Fill plastic bin with hot water to a depth of at least 6 inches. Stir in dye, starting with a small amount and adding more as desired. Dip a sample strip of fabric or paper towel to test the color. If too dark, add water; if too light, add dye. Let solution settle, so there are no bubbles at the surface.

2. Determine where you want the top of the dyed band to be; use pins to mark that line on fabric. Holding your fabric as straight as possible, dip into dye solution to just below the pin line (make sure you don't dip the pins; the fabric will wick the dye higher). Keep fabric in dye until it turns the desired color (it will dry slightly lighter). Rinse fabric in cold
