When I started this indigo project, my main goal was to dye these two white tanks. They are lovely when white (and I still have one that I kept white), but a little sheer. I envisioned a deep, rich indigo for them. I lost count of how many times these two were dipped, but it was a lot. :)
This was a lovely project that took a some time...time spent under these trees on not-too- hot, summer days. I loved the process...dye dripping on my legs...laughing with my girls...experimenting + learning...creating something new. I am going to love wearing these tanks. They feel infused with sunshine + earth...in a way that they always were...now more evident to me. It's a real joy to be part of the making of one's clothing...whether forming the cloth through knitting or quilting...putting the pieces together through sewing...prolonging use through mending...or simply adding some depth of color through dying. Forging connection to what we wear is never a waste of time.
