Summer Plans

Summer is almost here! I am going to have an amazing summer.

Today I am sewing. What did you guys do today?

Shop Update

Lots of new items available in the shop!

I also found (and adore) this rugged gypsy cardigan, all the cables make for a stunning find. It's also made out of 5% rabbit fur!

When I found this sweater I had no idea what to think of it. The odd anime girl is both cute/goth all at once, and I just love her hair barrettes. Truly a one-of-a-kind piece. I feel I could rock it with a black mini skirt, leggings, and goth ankle boots.

What staple vintage pieces do you guys have in your closet, and how do you wear them?

How To Tie-Dye

Want to give dying a try? Here is all you need to know!
You will need:

• empty tubs
• gloves
• hangers
• towls

STEP ONE
Grab some tubs, one for each color. For this project, I used Rit dye from Walmart in three colors: red, pink, and blue (that turned out purple, btw). Fill your tubs with 1-2 gallons of HOT water (follow the water per part instruction on your dye)

STEP TWO
Insert color. I just winged it.

STEP THREE
Tie your clothes up and secure with some rubber bands, or simply dip the clothes for a nice gradient wash. If you want deeper colors, let it rest in the dye for 30 minutes.

STEP FOUR
Rinse the extra dye out of your garment in the sink until the water runs mostly clean. Keep wearing your gloves because the dye will still stain you! Then, hang them to dry. I hung mine in the bathroom.

You should wash them by hand the first few times you wear them so the dye will not stain other clothing.
STEP FIVE
Wear, and enjoy.
