These Jeans have bad grass stains on the knees. I wanted to cover the stains so I decided to dip them into my indigo vat.  I dipped them multiple times and let them get semi dry in between.  I finally let them dry completely and washed them on hot and with an extra rinse.

Wash and dried- ready to wear again.
