I have wanted for a long time to try my hand at dying lace. I saw this done by one of my online sewing friends, and the dress was absolutely stunning. I didn't want to attempt this on a large scale, so I opted for a simple scarf. My wonderful MIL gave me a big box of fabric and this was in that box. I believe it is satin.
It was super easy. I just used cotton lace that I had on hand and soaked it in Rit dye with hot water. I didn't like the color the first time around, so I repeated it a second time. I thought I could always make the color darker but probably not lighter. I followed the instructions on the bottle. I let it air dry and pressed it with my iron to set it.
Then I used Wonder Tape to hold the lace in place to stitch it.
Here is a close up.
So what do you think? Will you try it? If you do, I'd love to see it.
Happy Wednesday!!
