Tie dying day at JamTots!!

Yesterday Jen and I finally found the time to do some dying with our procian dyes. We had playsilks, t-shirts, dresses and some used prefolds to test on.

WELL it's a lot harder than it looks!! We have some very nice looking playsilks--except for one that is hideos--we kept trying new things on it saying "well it can't get any worse" and it DID!! UGH!! It's hideous!!

Other than that it went pretty well though--we have some adorable hot pink, bright yellow, baby blue, turquoise, light purple, and chartreuse t-shirts and dresses to add to our site. We plan on embroidering on some of them too so that will be fun!

We also did some solid coloured playsilks--we have 2 gorgeous jade green ones (one of which my son has claimed so we'll see about that! Green is his FAVOURITE colour right now being a Hulk fan and all!) We also have a bright yellow one, a lavender one, a light blue one and two marbled pink ones that are just gorgeous!!

All in all it was a great day! We plan to dye some more prefolds when we get them back instock as well as some of our hemp inserts (for people who use them as prefolds) as they turned out really well!

Luckily my two kids slept through most of it and my husband came home to help out before they woke up and Jen's daughter was *very* good so that helped too!

Watch our New Arrivals! page as we will have pictures of our dying fun up there soon!! (Probably Wednesday at the earliest) and we only have a few things in each colour so they will go fast!!

Let us know if there is anything in particular that you would like to see us do as we are open to new ideas--anything in particular you want dyed or ?? It's definitely fun but there is a learning curve--good thing we had lots to practice with--I'm sure next time will go a lot more smoothly and there won't be so many items that our kids will "inherit"!!!
