Hello fellow travelers , Its been a while since I blogged. But rest assured , the bus driver has returned and is in his bus ke bulan. Lets all trip on a workshop that I went to on the 12th of May.

Dylon Tie - Dye Workshop 2013

Always wanting to make my own  hippy-themed tee shirts , I finally got to know how and also went back home with a few tees of my own ! Yay !

Dylon Dye Sachets

Sharon teaching me the 'spiral' design

 Here is the basic instruction to create your own tie dye tees ! Remember , Dylon hand dye sachets are ideal for making the colour stand out in your creations. Be it on clothes , pillowcases , napkins etc.

And in 10 simple steps , you can be proud owner of your own tie dye tee shirt ! I am psyched!!! :)

Instructions -
1. Wash and leave fabric damp
2.Prepare fabric as instructed ( you can choose which style to follow , i followed the spiral design)
3.Using gloves , dissolve dye in 500ml warm water
4.Fill bowl with 6 litres of warm water (around 40 degrees celcius)
5.Stir 250g(4tbsp) salt , then regularly for 45 minutes.
6.Submerge fabric in water
7.Stir for 15 minutes, then regularly for 45minutes.
8.Without untying the fabric , rinse in cold water until water runs clear. Then untie and wash in warm water.
9. Dry away from direct heat and sunlight.
10. Wash separately for the first few washes to remove any excess dye.

Here's what I made !!! :)
