Here are the results
Eden then made lots of rips in these, they do look quite good although they're not really my cup of tea!
Clark was really pleased with how his T-shirt came out. When he's got it on it sort of looks like a galaxy of stars and planets.
I've bought some dylon dyes as they also want to experiment with tie dying this week.
N and NS said they wanted a tea cosy so I offered to knit one,
This is the first half, I've made a few of these now. Hopefully it'll be finished in a couple of days and I will post a picture of the finished article.
As I type this the boys are in the front garden skipping with a rope they've made out of loom bands! You usually make necklaces and bracelets out of them. I do love their imagination!
Lastly, just in case anyone was wondering we did manage to stay awake and pick Eden up on time! Definitely having an early night tonight though! My time of late nights and early mornings is long gone!
great makes kids! Funny enough I bookmarked this page a while back, as I fancied making some milky way shoes!

Wow! They are amazing! It just goes to show that with a bit of imagination and effort you can make some fantastic things x
ReplyDeleteI did that with jeans in about 1970, my mum had a fit!
ReplyDeleteThey were good, they did ask my permission!
DeleteI do like Clarks T'shirt it definitely looks like the galaxy, that's not to say Edens jeans are pretty cool too.

Clark was really pleased with the result of his T-shirt. Eden's already worn the jeans so I guess she's happy with them too.
DeleteLove the bleached jeans and t shirt. I did a pair of Levi jeans with bleach in 1970 after sitting in the bath with them on to shrink them to fit. It took me ages to save up for them and mum couldnt understand why I would want to ruin them with cheap bleach. I did tie dye t shirts too, its great fun. x
ReplyDeleteThat brought back memories of me sitting in the bath to shrink jeans!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for the invention of Lycra!!
Love the bleached clothes. I'm old enough to recall the first time the tie-die look was in. The only thing with bleach is it might weaken the fabric, not that that matters since the tattered and torn look is also in fashion! Like you, I can't do the late night/early mornings any more...or the drinking like I used to. A pre-wedding wine tasting at DD2s last weekend with a 1 am finish wiped me out all day Sunday and I didn't even have a hangover...I was just worn out.
ReplyDeleteThey've done some more tie dying today. Pictures tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteEden wanted the bleach to weaken the fabric so that they would be easier to rip!
It was definitely an early night last night Helen!
What fun! We used to love playing with bleach when I was younger. I remember when light jeans were in fashion. My parents only bought dark ones so I bleached all of my pairs :)
