Two years ago I taught an indigo dyeing class. Connie wasn’t able to attend that class so we decided one of these days we’d have our own indigo play date. This week we finally got together and played.
Here is the dye pot I made from the Jacquard indigo kit.
Once the pot was ready, it was time to fold and bind our fabrics.
I love using clothes pins. Here is how this piece looked before the indigo dip.
And how it looks now.
Another one
My favorite piece
I love the spiral so I added a couple to this gray thrift store shirt. I really liked the shirt but didn’t like the gray color, but knew when I bought it I’d eventually dye it. Love it now!
Of course I had to dye some rope for a rope bowl.
At the very beginning my right glove must have had a hole in it. I ended up with a blue hand.
At the end I notice that my fingernails also were (and are still) blue!
Connie and I posed with a couple of our pieces.
Now I have more indigo clothespins to add to my collection!
What a fun day! Thanks for dropping by.
What a fun day and I love all of your indigo pieces! I’m planning to wear one of the shirts I dyed at your house tomorrow.
I bet it will look lovely on you!! It was such a fun day! I did fire up the pot today – it needed some help getting started but finally it’s going again and I dyed another shirt. I thought if I liked how it dyed, I’d go buy a few more since they were on sale!
I love blue too. I really love the indigo dye.
