I'm going to 'dye'...

This past weekend, I attended and planned {but that's a story for a different day} a baby shower for my cousin in-law.

I decided I wanted to make the baby to be a few personalized things so...

Feeling brave, with my Rit dye in hand


and some long sleeved white baby onesies,


I experimented with some dying techniques. 


This was so much easier than I expected.  I followed the directions on the box, without any incident. 

I'd have to say, for my first attempt, I think I had great success.


But, you don't think that's all I did to them, do you?

Come back tomorrow and see how I personalized them.

    What a great shade of yellow! So rich! I can't wait to see how you personalized them. I am taking meticulous notes and will be stealing this idea...just so you know. ; )

    Of course that's not all you did! I can't wait to see how you "took it up a notch" or maybe even way over the top! You never know with you!!

    They are so cute in that yellow. I have had some Rit dye in my Amazon cart for about two weeks now. Maybe you'll inspire me to actually buy it. :)

    Amy, love the "happy" yellow. I've never dyed anything before, don't know why. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I can't wait to see what you did with them. I have an old bridesmaid's dress that I would love to dye. It's off white and I will never wear it "as is" again, so there's not much to lose... but still, it's kind of scary!

    I love the color and your skill! I'm not ready to attempt to dye anything yet...even though I have some pieces of clothing I would love to transform.
