Tie dye is not just for T shirts!!!
There are several steps to making re purposed tie dye clothing. Before I buy the clothing, I inspect them to make sure they are of good quality, free of stains and tears, all all the buttons/zippers are in workin order. Then they then have to be washed to remove any manufacturing prepping chemicals or body oils from normal wear. After the clothing is washed, they go into a soda ash bath for several hours to prepare the fabric for the dying. After soaking, I hand wring out the clothing and then place it in the washing machine on the spin cycle to remove as much of the soda ash solution and leave them damp. Now each piece of clothing is ready to be folded, tied, rubber banded, spiraled, crinkled and formed so it is ready to be dyed and transformed! The dying process is so much fun! Laying down the different colors in different patterns is what creates the amazing patterns and color bursts all of the different clothing styles. The clothing then goes into a gallon zip lock baggie to sit for about 24 hours. After the color has sat on the fabric for about a day, the clothing has to be rinsed to get the majority of the dye out of the fabric and then washed three times. After the second wash, the clothing is heat set in the a high heat dryer, and then washed for the third time. After the final wash and dry, the new re purposed clothes are ironed and neatly folded and stored until it finds its new home!

Each piece is a work of art, and no two are alike! Show off your individuality with these great shirts!
After these items are dyed, they are washed three times using dye free, fragrance free detergent. All items have been washed three times to make sure the dyes have been thoroughly washed out. Washing three times should be enough to consider this item is safe for washing with other clothes, but there is a possibility of slight color loss on the next wash, so please wash responsibly. Avoid washing in hot water, avoid using bleach. Wash separately in cold water, using your favorite laundry detergent. Because there is always a slight chance of color loss, I cannot be responsible for any other garment washed with this piece.
