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! 🎨 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. 🌈

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:

*The tie dye stockings used in this giveaway are two of the first ones created, have some minor sewing flaws to them an are kind of skinny but still functional. You will not be receiving a perfect gift but a pretty damn cool one that can be used as decor if anything. The gifts inside it are just a bonus! I lined them both with a spacey black fabric and doubled up the cuff to ensure durability. Hand sewed a few tiny jingle bells on the cuffs points and put a matching tab on it to hang for the Holidaze! Hoping to get a few more made perfectly and listed in our Etsy shop early December. 





Fun Fact:
These Holiday stocking were upcycled from our 2015 xmas tiedye shirts!
We only wore them once and just for this Family photo.

Ultra Violet = Pantone Color of the Year 2018




 "Complex and contemplative, Ultra Violet suggests the mysteries of the cosmos, the intrigue of what lies ahead, and the discoveries beyond where we are now. The vast and limitless night sky is symbolic of what is possible and continues to inspire the desire to pursue a world beyond our own." - read more here!

 I gotta say, I love me some purple to dye up tie dyes! 
This is an excellent color of the year that I use every year with great success. Not dying much this year so a bit bummed out on making violet creations but can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with.


Color Inspiration is everywhere!

Custom Tie Dye Mandala Tees


Since we've added a new bundle of joy to our lives I haven't been able to sling much dye in the Moon Lab these days. Get plenty of requests and I hate turning them down but my time is occupied with baby Silas now.

Finally gave a custom tie dye order a shot and well, figured out I'm still not ready to get fully back in the lab lol. Motherly sacrifices!

My 7 month old son was teething super bad the whole month of May and it pretty much took me the whole month to finish up on my custom order, doh. I did have to give the two designs a try three times each so it took longer then imagined juggling tie dying and a super crabby teething baby. The last two we tied up and dyed turned out super awesome and those were the ones she picked yeaaa! 

First attempts of a copy of a listed design

First attempts of lime green, purple & navy color combo

Final design, way sharper mandala!

Final design, nice points & color tones!



I truly love how they turned out, thought I had lost my touch tying & dying after this long break from the craft. Ahhhh!

Needless to say, I am not taking on any custom tie dye orders for a while longer. If you're totally interested in getting a piece of our work you can check out the pre-made items listed and ready to ship in our Etsy shop!

The first attempt tie dye tees pictured above will be listed in our shop once we get individual pics of them.

Tie Dye Agate Geode Design - Shibori "Spider" Kumo Technique by Moon Dyes

The wild ways a tie dye can be hand tied up and dyed makes all of our handmade creations one of a kind while keeping our job interesting each and every day...

Geode MoNsTeR!

This far-out gifted tee was tied in a Agate Geode design aka Shibori "Spider" Kumo Technique and vat dyed one of our NEW fiber reactive colors from Dharma Trading Co. = Peony. 

Peony Pink
 
Took forever to tie up but the untying was a snap since I used one looong string of sinew an as you can see from the final outcome...it looks so GrOoVy!

Untying is easy with sinew!

This listed and ready to ship v-neck tee was vat dyed in another NEW color, Power Berry. For sale HERE

WHOA! 

Power Berry Purple

I'll be making more of this tye dye design to list for sale in my Etsy shop. Going to dye some multi colors and others vat or ice/muck dyed solid colors like the pics above. 

Can't wait to add more of this new design to our shop!

~ Thanks for looking ~
