Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
DNS x 2 - PRR soccer and dyeable stripes... 2 colors
OK, the first one is what I dyed with 2 pkgs of royal blue Dylon dye in my washing machine. I think it turned out really nice. PRR soccer and the dyeable stripes from Allison. I really wish I had gotten more of the stripes, because this has a LOT of potential... I have about 5 more yards undyed, but I wish I had gotten even more.
This next set is what I dyed with Dylon navy. Again, I had 2 pkgs of dye in my washer. I had a LOT of fabric in there. I also dyed a white sweater that I love, but had a stain on the front. Turned out so pretty. I love the denim blue color that everything took on. Again... stripes - love them. PRR soccer. There is also a small piece of white ribbing that I dyed up to use with the stripes, and also a piece of french terry I threw in as well.
Wow, that Royal blue is much lighter than I thought it would be. The package looks pretty dark. I'm glad I got to see results of the color! I like the way it turned out.

I think they would have been darker if I hadn't used the washer and put so much in. I only used 2 pkgs for a wsaher load... and I had probably 2 y of the soccer and 2 yds of the stripe, then I had another yard and a half of french terry (which I later redyed the navy, so I showed it with that). So, there was a lot of fabric in there, and I had more water than I needed, too. But i like the colors that I got.
You guys think the stripes would look ok for a shirt with the soccer for the shorts? The soccer is ripstop... I wasn't sure if the stripes would look ok or not.
