TIE DYE SHIRT TUTORIAL: GEO TRIANGLE PATTERN
Usually Itajime patterns are made with indigo, but I wanted to use it with tie dye colors. I am using procion dyes (or tie dye) with this traditional Japanese pattern for a cool twist on modern tie dye. I wanted to go with a earthy color palette- inspired by the forrest or camouflage. I did a poll on instagram and people voted to call this color palette "Forrest Scape" I love that name.

TIE DYE WITH MODERN COLORS
I'm so excited to launch my Modern Tie Dye Kits. They are so fun and fresh. Each kit comes with dyes, 3 things to dye, supplies to tie everything up and a free tutorial video. You will get enough dye to tie dye more than what's in the kit, so if you have some extra t-shirts or totebags you can tie them up too. What's your favorite colorway? I love them all but mine is Desert Sunset. :) Here's my latest video of the reveals.
