My inner-hippy has been banging to get out more and more these days. Ratdog and The Dead concerts. An ever growing collection of audience recorded live Jam Band Concerts. And tie-dyes. If I’m not working, I’m probably wearing one.
Unfortunately, the damn things cost a fortune. $35, $40 even $50 a piece. There was only one logical conclusion:
Make my own!
When I was a kid, and again in college, i’d made tie-dyes with RIT dye, but they didn’t look as good the ones I could buy. And they faded after just a few washes.
I did some homework, figured out how some of the more eye-popping designs we achieved and learned what dyes to use.
We made two each; one spiral and one ‘V’ pattern.
The results speak for themselves.

I love tie-dye shirts. Never tried to make my own though. I’d probably end up with tie-died arms.
