Make a cup of strong tea. This is Assam from Harrods, didn't like it very much. Put tape in tea. Wait. Rinse. Dry.
Sew. Ta daa!
I really like the color! And I'm quite excited to see how well it lasts when I wash the body. I'm not very worried, I can't imagine it will ever go back to ultra white again.
Cool! Perhaps I should try that. I needed beige interlock to a top the other day!
ReplyDeleteHej! Jag har också provat att färga med te, men inte lyckats få det tvättäkta. Har det något att göra med tejpen? Eller varför lägger du i den? *nyfiken*
ReplyDeletei used to colour clothes in tea, to make them a bit antique in looks or just hide miscolouring. unfortunately i wasn't very careful when i soaked them since some blouses turned out all nasty yellowish under arms and trousers dito in crouch... but when you get it right it's a really nice way of colouring (even if it fades with time/wash).
ReplyDelete(and i'm all with you on not liking the harrod's teas.)
Mia: Jag vet inte om det blev så tvättäkta heller, det återstår att se.:) Jag tänkte att kritvitt kan det väl ändå aldrig bli igen?
ReplyDeletePia K: It turned ugly with the next experiment, I'll show you soon..!
