I’ve been wanting to get an indigo pot going for some time now, and this past week was the perfect time. Also, Laura with Design Matters TV kind of gave me the nudge to do it with her video on over dyeing with indigo. So my goal for this session was to over dye previously…
Read MoreGood Morning! I was hoping I’d have a new tutorial ready for you today. I had ordered a tool I needed to complete it, but it was damaged in the mail. However, I found out that our local Joann’s store had it in stock. As I walked into the store yesterday, I stopped by a…
