I’m working on Sienna’s fall clothes and finishing up a new fall pattern so I am running through a ton of t-shirts. My husband gave me a huge stack of dingy white t-shirts and I used oxyclean to brighten them and then I used fushcia and purple RIT dyes to tie dye them before I cut them all up into a million pieces.

I soaked the shirts in soda ash for 30 minutes before dying……then twirled them into spirals and secured with rubber bands.

I drain them on the side lawn…..since we live in the desert the ground doesn’t hold water so the grass makes a great “strainer.”
