A Super Comfy Bowl Dye Cropped Sweater Refashion
Hello again, friends! How are you all holding up? Personally, I’m already starting feel pretty cooped up, but am pushing through it with a combination of gardening, refashioning, and reading a few books I’d been meaning to get around to.
Leftover Dye? Give This a Try: A Jar Overdye Tutorial
When I found this lovely Indian tunic at the thrift shop, I was super-happy. I LOVE tunic dresses, and figured this one could be worn as-is. My eyes must be going. :/ When I got my tunic home and took a closer look, I saw why someone probably donated it.
Day 221: I Dream of Jar Dyed Tees!
When I found a ladies white tee for $1 at one of my fave thrift stores, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it! 🙂 I still had a teensy bit of Fuchsia and Kelly Green Dye left over from other projects. “Hmmmmmnnn….What to do?”, I asked myself.

Day 107: Paint it Teal
