It's that time of year...with school starting + seasons changing...that we start to look at our wardrobes to see what we have + what we might need for the season to come. We might start to pull out some of the pieces we packed away for a few months...or a few years, in the case of children's hand-me-downs. Stains have a way of appearing, especially on children's clothing that we know we packed away clean. Dye might be the perfect camouflage for any discoloration or revival that is needed.

Natural dyes are all the rage, so I'm sure they are new to no one here. I just thought that a little dye inspiration might be a fun (+ pretty) reminder of a fix that could help some of our clothing have a little bit longer life. Fabric can often take a darker dye, even if it is already colored. Surprising fabrics (even sweater knit + velvet) can be dyed. Try a dip dye or a folding technique + pale dye, if something more dramatic is not the desired look. And of course, no stains are necessary!  :)
