Due to my current unemployment situation I have had a lot of free time on my hands...well as much free time a married mother of two can have. My current employment status has allowed me the time I've been craving to begin new projects, and to complete the ones I had permanently filed away on my "to do" list.
My first project came to me in the middle of the night. It started as a whisper that quickly grew into a resounding crescendo in my brain..."Upcycle...DIY". What did these words mean? "Go to your closet." I obeyed the voice mostly out of curiosity. What would I possibly find in a closet adorned with pre-pregnancy apparel?
As I examined my closet's contents I saw it...the Holy Grail of DIY projects...a previously upcycled denim shirt I converted into a vest. What to do...what to do..I can't sew. How could I improve upon a garment (that I am quite proud of I may add), without spending any cash; and then it hit me...BLEACH TIE-DYE. Eureka! I had found a solution to both my midnight boredom and a way to silence that maddening "resounding crescendo". I watched a few YouTube videos for research before tucking myself in.
The next day I woke up with great expectation, I gathered all my supplies and attempted my bleaching project. I didn't measure anything, I simply winged it, and although it did not turn out the way I had envisioned, I must say I like it, and I hope you do too.
