Tie Dye Again

I love that dsis loves to tie dye!

Once again we had a family party this time everyone was in town. Including some extended family.





And the super fun highlight for me??? Gwen was tie dying the kids old mattress pads with the idea to use them for throws/blankets/situpons at the park. Great idea imho. Anyhoo, they needed the sides & elastic cut off prior to dying. No prob.

So I was sitting there with this cotton sheeting that I just cut off the mattress pad and decided since we were planning to use up all the pre made dyes that we should dye it. I folded, Gwen spiraled, dyed, rinsed, washed (hey that is the time consuming part) and gave it back to me. Blah, blah, blah. Point was I was inspired to make an apron out of it. It took quite a bit of piecing, as you can see. The original was maybe 8" wide hence the sizes of the panals. It was a thrill to make and I hope someone falls in love with it.
