Rit dye. Yesterday I expressed some desire for being able to buy colored denim... Today, I found several pairs of jeans packed in a box for good will, so I decided to try dyeing some. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
I used rit dye for the first time about a year ago when I found a dress for a wedding I really liked, but it was white. I bought the dress (before I swore off shopping), and dyed it a lilac color, which turned out to be pretty cute. I told my Grandma about it, and she literally laughed and said, "I haven't heard of anyone dyeing clothes in years." Call me old fashioned (I mean, my 90 year old Grandma did), but it only cost me $2.29 to turn this pair of jeans into a mint color that I love (full disclosure: I also bought the color removal stuff for $2.29). Since this pair worked so well, I might go back and get a yellow color or maybe blue. The options are endless. Well almost, I only have 2 other pairs of jeans I can try it with. Could this possibly be the best idea/loophole ever? You're welcome. Oh, and Nugget says "hey." I'm convinced he thinks I won't notice when he mocks me with that look away smile.
Which dye color did you use to make these pants? You've inspired me to test the waters with dye. I also have a white skirt that is "dying" to be red!!
