Recent shirt I finished up! Still not where I would like to be with the overall cleanliness of the mandala, but it was still a nice shirt to open up:)

I'm bleach dying a sweatshirt for a coworker but i can't seem to get the bleach to work. I tested it on a tshirt and it worked perfectly but I think the sweatshirt is made with synthetic fibers. I tried making a stronger concentration bleach/water mix and left it longer, but it still won't change color. Is there another option for synthetic fibers? Thank you!

Bleach Tie-Dye

I am going to try ice dyeing a shirt with no soda, putting dye directly on fabric with ice over top, giving it a few hours and then dust sufficiently with soda ash, then a small layer of ice and another dusting of soda ash. Shirt will be bone dry.  I guess to me this could simply things and bring the benefits of a dry soda ash being dyed followed by a big flux of soda ash. Sound good?

Chevron Scrunch - New Design

So proud of my daughter, she came up with the concept, tie pattern, and dye colors. I only had to help with the rubber bands and setting up the tray. She made a matching dress for herself and dyed them side by side so they can wear them to school and have one big rainbow between their skirts.

Dye under ice, soaked in soda ash, colors used are in the photo gallery.

Here’s another shirt where the layout/pattern, if you will, is random. Meaning, I grab a spoonful of powder, and lay it on wherever I feel. Since, we are approaching Valentine’s Day, I want to include more pink in my pieces.

A St. Patrick Brat

From first to most recent. I heeded the advice I got on here a few weeks ago and practiced the pleat fold (1st and 3rd) and tried improving my lines. I didn't want to waste any white shirts though, so I decided to practice bleaching some old tank tops to figure out the best method to bleach without tearing holes in my shirts. I also worked in a few spines as well. Three birds with one stone lol.

I can see where I need to keep improving, but I'm happy with how much better my mandalas come out every time. Not sure if I'm going to dye over these with color, but I might give it a go to see how the colors come thru on top of bleach-orange.

Thanks to everyone here who gave me advice after my first manFAILa. This subreddit has been so educational for me and I'm grateful for you all :)

I am an absolute beginner and after weeks of lurking in this subreddit I've felt inspired to dye! I'm planning to tie dye to celebrate my birthday next weekend.  Does anyone have suggestions for tools/kits I should acquire?

Birthday tie dye suggestions?

My first post here! Excited to show off my Tie Dye Tapestries I’ve made!

Still wet, but look what I made :)

This was done with the dye under ice method and tied off with sinew. I've honestly been overlooking loden for a while just because of its liquid color (baby poo green) but when I saw some ice dye swatches I decided I would go ahead and give it a shot. Glad I took the plunge.

Glad I gave cedar/loden a try.

I used a big round bowl for both of these!

Gravity Dyes!

Also tried letting these things dry out till they were bone dry to see if that helped the saturation, not sure if it really helped the saturation, but definitely don't care for the how much less the dye seems to create nice flowy patterns, since it just disperses into the fabric. Trial and error. Not bad, but not the best.

How to make this sort of tie dye

So clearly the mandala needs some work and the honeycomb is not a honey comb but I wanted to share my progress. I need to go over the mandala sections with more dye, especially the bigger ones, as you can see they’re lacking in saturation. The honeycomb I’ll admit I know I tied wrong but I just couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong so I kind of tied it more like a mandala. I have another shirt that’s processing with another honeycomb attempt that seemed to be tied more accurately, we’ll see 🤷‍♀️ I’ll keep y’all updated. But anyway I tied this shirt dry and not soaked in SA which was more difficult than when it’s pre soaked and damp. I did the pariah method with 1/4 cup SA to 1 cup of water, however I decided to do almost boiling water to do a HWI with it too so it would be done faster 😂 it definitely sped up the process and I dyed and washed it out within an hour or so. Pretty happy with it but I might go back in and paint in some of the white parts of the mandala.
