Tie Dye Pics

I kept thinking I'd post a couple of pictures of some of the stuff I dyed this week, as soon as I got time to iron it all, and enough sunlight to stage some pretty pictures. It's still rainy here though, and I still haven't gotten around to ironing, but here are a few pictures anyway.

These are new/old stock linen napkins I got at a salvage place last year. I love to dye linen. It always turns out so pretty. The only problem is that I meant to dye 4 of them. I can dye another one later, but it will never match exactly...

A pillowcase for my sister. She and her husband are obsessed with camo colored tie dye. I'm making them a bunch of stuff for Christmas.

A sack cloth tea towel from dollar tree. These may end up being my go to generic Christmas gift this year. Cheap, cool, and functional. I like the pink and brown color combo.

This is little tote bag from Hobby Lobby. This is another cool gift idea, as these frequently go on sale for less than a buck. This effect was achieved by vat dyeing the bag pink, and then crinkle dying it brown It looks a lot like low water immersion dyeing. The colors are a little more muted than I'm used to, but I sort of like it.
