Dylon Fabric dye

 in the january sales i went to topman and bought this top which i'v wanted for ages. the problem was they only had it in red so i decided to dye it navy blue.

as u might know when blue is is mixed with red it turns purple so u need to use the Dylon pre dye before (pictured above) you dye your garment. first you need to disolve the pre dye in hot water and then just put in the machine when it is disolved make sure you wear clothes you don't care about because it will change the colour. the pre dye basicly takes all the dye out so it can be dyed any colour similar to bleaching hair. after it was in the machine it looked like this. 

when dyeing it blue you put all the dye in the machine also with salt any salt will do. then put the garment in on a 40 cycle wash, remember with this dye you can useually dye fabrics that are cotton linin or viscose, polyester or nylon fabrics will not dye so be careful with fabric mixes such as cotton and ployester (remember to read the label to see what it is.

the finished product

the usual problem when dyeing is the stitching because polyester thread is usualy used and ployester thread won't dye, and this is what has happened here. i think it looks ok though with the navy colour as it is a dark colour. but i am happy with how it has turned out and i would probly wear this top on a night out as i think it looks real funky.
