Whipped this up the other day. I meant to make a collar for it too but got too excited to wear it before I managed to get it done! It's a lot less complicated than the last one so took a lot less time.
Got this lovely fabric from Leicester market
I used the same method as the tie-dye shirt dress in that I used a dress I already had to make the pieces. Chopped 'em out of the fabric and there they are!

Nothing appeals to me more than a night in with red wine, flat breads and a load of homemade dips. If you're a dip fiend like me then this is definitely one for your recipe keeper! This red pepper and walnut dip is one of my go-to dishes to impress.
Pretty simple to make and always a hit with guests! Fancy giving in a go?

So remember I told you to watch this space on my [ tie-dye curtains post ]? Yes? No? Well check out this little number
Oh yes, the tie-dye dress is here! As my first proper dress-making attempt I must say I am pleasantly surprised (shocked and amazed) at how well it has turned out. And it's ready just in time for the warm Spring that has kindly landed itself upon us. Here's how I did it :)

FIRST PROJECT: TIE-DYE CURTAINS
By Amelia Sinnott 05:09 craft, curtains, decorating, fabric, homemade, interior, sewing, tie-dye, tiedye
Okay so let's start this thing with the fabric adventure embarked upon last week! This one was pretty simple and for a first tie-dye attempt I'm pretty happy with the result.
Materials involved
I wanted vertical stripes so rolled the fabric vertically (top to bottom rather than side to side), then secure bands with spacing to your discretion!
Dye according to pack instruction.
The result?
Pretty pleased indeed! :) I then hemmed the top and bottom and
ironed smooth. Attached them to my blinds (in an admittedly haphazard manner -
hence the lack of close up shot!) and voila! I have a snazzy new curtain. What d'ya reckon?
(I also have a green dye which I decided not to use in the end - the words tie-dye babydoll dress spring to mind. Watch this space!)
