Dyed Tights with Food Coloring

For Halloween I decided I was going to be Poison Ivy from Batman.  I needed green tights, and of course the one time I need them, there aren’t any green tights at all.  Frustrated, I bought a pair of opaque white tights with the intention of dyeing them with food coloring.  I had seen people dye yarn this way, what would be the difference?

Here are my materials:  white tights, food coloring (I used green and yellow), vinegar, a stainless steel pot and a measuring cup.

A skirt!

I’m so sorry for my disappearance everyone!   I had to run away to work on school work and whatnot.. finals week called for many projects, papers, etc.  but now I’m all done!  Yay!  My older sister is done with college too.. cept not like me.. I still have a year to go.  No, she’s done completely!  We’re heading to her school to watch her graduation today, and I had a skirt I was going to wear but when I was looking at it last night and decided that it looked too much like a work skirt.. so I decided to make something to wear.  I combed through my fabric stash and picked these:

I’ve had these for so long!

So I got to sewing and cutting.  I had just vacuumed my floor and now I have to do it again because of all the seeds I had to cut off of this fabric so it wouldn’t break the needle in my machine..

Here’s the finished product!

Don’t pay attention to the green shirt, it’s just what I was wearing at the time haha.

Kinda blurry, sorry :(

Again, apologies for the lack of posting.. I have a lot of things lined up, I just never had time.  I do now though! :D


An oldie but a goldie: Mohawk Beanie!

I don’t have time to make anything today, so I figured I’d show you guys one of my older crafts that I’m pretty proud of. Since I made a beanie last night, I’ll post another beanie today! I give you, the mohawk beanie. It’s inspired by the book from knit-head, Pretty in Punk. They offer knitting patterns, but at that time, I wasn’t confident with my knitting skills, so I decided to crochet it up!

Here are the results:
