Living Coral = Pantone Color of the Year 2019




To tell the truth I haven't used a coral color "purposely" in a tie dye for years. Many shades of coral have shown up with ice dying lately and I have been totally digging the look. I find it intriguing to play around with the color Coral this year.

Color Inspiration is everywhere!

Fabric Scrubbies - Tie Dye Sewing Crafts


Playing with tie dye scraps has always been a fun thing for me to do. Once I got a serger all kinds of small creations happened! This is the first trial of a current & quick lil' project I'm still perfecting. 

Cut out scraps
Ready to be serged


These upcycled & repurposed cloth wipes have helped me around the house with no waste provided from them. My toddlers even love using them to clean up after meals and snacks. They've learned so much independence while having a blast!


Cleaning up meal time messes

Kids love to be independent!

A few sets of assorted designs & styles are and more will be listed in small trial packs for now. I'm working on designing them in a more durable way such as being top stitched, more absorbant and in larger bundles next year.

So much scraps, so little time to craft!

If you do happen to purchase a trial set please let me know what you think of them. Feedback is always appreciated to better my craft. Thanks!

Ice Dyeing Experiments - Batch #2

Working from the high of our last ice dyeing outcome Batch #1 and my expectations are more of a "Deep Sea Mermaid" type of vibe. 

I had hand tied up a bunch of kids stuff, tanks for me an a few table runners & wall hangings to do these ice dyeing batch experiments throughout the month of December. This way if the projects turned out like shit we'd just have shit tie dyes to wear at home lol. Newbie here at Ice Dyeing so this is working out wonderfully and the dyes are so far too, hopefully I can keep it up.

Anyway back to the dyeing...

Colors used:
Sea Glass - Dharma Trading Co. 
Blue Violet - Dharma Trading Co.
Turquoise - Custom Colours


Tied Up

Sprinkled Dye

"Ice Ice Baby"

Melted AF

Needless to say I was really excited to rinse these interesting creations an after 
I did I was well, not expecting what it turned out to be. Who the heck would 
actually know whats gonna happen right?! That's the addicting part of any kind 
of fabric dyeing to me! ๐ŸŽจ You can do the same design and use the same 
colors but never get the same results.

To tell the truth I was a tish bit disappointed at first but after it washed & dried I was totally getting into the ooak patterns and color combo of these goods. I'm aiming towards a brighter style next time I dye a rainbow. ๐ŸŒˆ

What do YOU think?

Deep Sea Mermaid

Fun Fact:
The toddlers tee and socks were gifted to two giveaway winners!

Sadly the dope table runner has a defect in the fabric an I just don't think it's listable for that. I'll more then likely keep it for an Ostara & Easter table runner! Perks of my job, I get to gift or keep all the messed up stuff.

Ice Dyeing Experiments - Batch #1

Soooooo
we've been super busy these past almost 4 years since we had two lil' boys in a row and never really got into the new fad of "Ice Dyeing" or "Snow Dyeing" in the tie dye world. Finally our kiddos have given us some time to get back into dyeing and we just have to give this Ice Dyeing a try.

I've seen some pretty amazing creations by rad dyers pop up on FB tie dye groups, Instagram and Etsy so I'm pretty damn excited to see what we can do, or at least be able to laugh my ass off over our horrible outcomes. Either way it should be fun.

Jason whipped up this first batch on Sunday 12-2-18 and at first I wasn't too impressed but after the items dried I was totally diggin' them!

He used:
Kingfisher - Dharma Trading Co.
Orange - Custom Colours
Cerulean - Custom Colours
Green - Custom Colours

Chillin'

Almost melted

Geode kids tees & socks!

Inclined Dyed Hoodie

The finished products were so interesting,
I decided to do another batch of ice dyes that night by myself!
See that outcome on my blog post:
