Why Tie Dye makes good CENTS!

I have been reading my Friend Angela's Blog...Penny Pinscher see the link to your left. It is packed full of great money saving ideas and just general humor about the times we are in. It got me thinking about What a value Tie Dye is. I do our local Earth Day Festival every year. One of the things i bring up to people is that tie dye done with modern fiber reactive dyes is a long lasting product. This makes sense from an economic standpoint as well. Start with a quality garment and then apply quality dyes, and you have a piece of clothing that your child will wear till he outgrows it, and can then pass down to younger brother or sister. As an adult wouldn't you rather get 100 wearings out of a t-shirt than 50? Secondly Tie Dye can be used to refurbish clothing that you may be tempted to throw out or donate. That favorite Blouse with a spaghetti stain? can be dyed orange or brown for a snappy new look. Don't throw out those faded khaki's Even colored items will dye nicely if turned into a darker color than they were origionally. The only stipulation is that items have to be a natural fiber to use fiber reactive dyes. If you have an item you'd like refurbished contact me I will be happy to dye for you. Or locate a tie dye artist in your area. Go to www.dharmatrading.com for do it yourself info and supplies.
