I dyed a couple pairs of my daughters jeans that were a funky shade of pink to (should have been a dark blue) and they ended up a gray-ish purple...and that wasn't so bad except that the first 4-5 loads of laundry that those items went into they dyed a ton of other stuff in that ugly purple too! lol i learned my lesson...always wash dyed fabric items seperately. Your bed looks so cozy. Did you do your headboard yourself? I'd love a tutorial if so. :)Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200120123017047498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-70043119128521296262012-04-24T14:37:30.050-07:002012-04-24T14:37:30.050-07:00Beautiful, I think it softens the whole bed.

Love the color they turned out!!<br /><br />Yes I have dyed lots of things over the years....nothing to this extent because I am a sale monger and eventually find what I want in linens!<br />Oh and we love Winners and Homesence!!<br /><br />Last thing we dyed was a white skirt blue, and it turned out a very cool looking stretch jean material. How we visualized it and how it turned out was quite different...that is the problem with dying different materials...sticking with cotton is your best bet I think!!<br /><br />Hugs GigglesGiggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713143985984314202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-47180723696681987882012-04-24T13:04:07.400-07:002012-04-24T13:04:07.400-07:00Hey Girlie- Yes, I have dyed fabric, some towels. ...Hey Girlie- Yes, I have dyed fabric, some towels. But be super careful each and every time you wash them. A couple of times we had something a tiny bit lighter in with the towels and the items picked up the color. Sicks big time. I even did that color fats wash after dying them, and followed the directions to the T. Hopefully you have better luck. I'd love to know if you do- because I'd love to dye a throw gray. But now I'm scared!!<br />xo BeccaFrom G2Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403039367361955045noreply@blogger.com
