#Redying

bubble bubble it was a lot of toil and trouble. @ritdye pls help I messed up x dying fabric chocolate brown upcycling second hand fashion reuse

This is a quick tutorial on how to dye any piece of clothing with RIT DYE. 🫟 Here are some extra tips: 1 Pound WOC(weight of clothing) = 3 gallons of water. You should use 4oz of dye for every pound, if you’re looking for a lighter color use half. 1-2 cups of salt works, but the internet recommends one cup of salt per pound of weight of clothing. When using the Fixative Dye, repeat same process (dyeing) There are natural ways to dye with other materials too! Like berries, fungus, bugs, etc. #fashion #dye #tutorial #clothing #upcycledfashion

@ritdye for the win with this easy upcycle! Took this $5 dollar thrifted jumpsuit and made the color to something I’ll actually wear and more flattering for me! And also doing my hair and makeup helped the cause as well 😂 but You can do it it too ! #ritdye #upcycleclothing #refashion #easydiy #easyproject

mending march day 4 🪡 my first attempt at darning a hole, and it won’t be my last! shout out to @metropolismisfit for the fun intro shot idea! #upcycling #diy #thriftfinds #repairdontreplace

Staring 2 new projects, both need to start as the color black. The denim vest is for a commission and was faded and looks good as new after the dye. The thrifted crewneck started as grey and came out black but a little splotchy, I might go back and dye it a second time. Have some very cool stuff planned for both garments so drop a follow if you want to see what happens 👀 #ritdye #diyfashion #upcycledclothes #textileartist

Dyeing my clothes: Part 2 This time I dyed a synthetic polyester dress using RIT DyeMore from Spotlight Very happy with my pretty pink clothes 🌷💗

Are you team 🤎 or 🩵? No fail dye instructions- 1. Wash fabric first and keep damp 2. Fill a large pot with hot water so fabric can move freely 3. Add dye of choice (I used 1/2 bottle dark brown with 1/4 tsp wine to neutralise the blue) 4. Add 1 cup salt (v. important!) 5. Stir until fully dissolved 6. Put damp fabric in dye mixture 7. Simmer (not boil) on stovetop for 20-30 mins depending on depth you want 8. Stir constantly (for even colour) 9. Rinse in cold water until water runs clear 10. Machine wash with tiny bit of washing powder/liquid. Wash alone! 11. Air dry Good luck ✨ #thriftflip #diyfashion #sustainablefashion #secondhandstyle #slowfashionaustralia

Thrifted duvet turned dyed pants experiment 🖤🪡 I made these Penny Pants (pattern so kindly gifted by @kelseymariewhite) out of a 100% thrifted duvet from Savers for $10.99… but the light gray just ain’t it. So obviously I did the only reasonable thing: threw them in a dye bath minutes before bedtime 🤪😅 I used Rit Dye + ColorStay, and went for black… but I didn’t use color remover and I didn’t soak them super long because ya girl is impatient, so I fully accepted the risk that they might come out more charcoal gray than true black. Did I ruin them… or upgrade them? 👀 Come back to find out ✨ #thriftflip #ritdye #memadewardrobe #sewingreels #handmadewardrobe

Sunday mending time. My sweatshirt will live forever !!! #mending #thrifty #visiblemending #reusereducerecycle♻️

My clothes live longer because I treat them kindly. 🧺 Maintenance over replacement. Repairing over rebuying. Gentler washing so fabrics don’t wear out before they need to. I use @dirty_labs because cleaner chemistry isn’t just better for the planet... it’s easier on fabrics too. Let's replace less & wear more.🧶🪡✂️
