A lesson in dyeing


Onesies that is. I've been in search of some fun colored onesies for SOS and came up pretty empty handed. Of course you can always find the standard pinks + purples. But if you know me, you know I am anything but pinks and purples. SOS's room is a testament to that. So it's time to bust out the canning pot and some RIT dye. For this round I went with their Teal and was pretty impressed with the quality of the color. It's pretty simple to do and probably took just over an hour (not including washing + drying). You really just need a few simple items (dye of your choice, salt, laundry detergent):


 I went for one dark colored one (approx 25 minutes), one light colored one (approx 2 minutes) and one ombre one (total of 20 minutes in varying increments). The ombre one wasn't my best work, but not bad for a first timer. The colors are definitely more vibrant in person.


A tip for my friends: Wear gloves. I may or may not have teal fingers.
