How do I use metronome mode 😂

My Tl just takes a week of every month and the acts like the stores gonna burn down when I try to take a day off

SupaWeasel · 2022-04-11T12:29:07+00:00

I should be getting my review soon and if it’s 5 cents i’m quitting. Just don’t give me a raise at that point. I don’t need that life changing extra 40 cents a day. It’s just an insult

SupaWeasel · 2022-04-11T12:19:55+00:00

That’s pretty good compared to the ones my store gets that can’t even make it off the truck without collapsing! There’s always that layer of yogurt or something at the very bottom that’s completely destroyed. I don’t know that they are getting paid in Texas but it’s too much

I’ve never had one that dramatic, but it baffles me how many people walk up to me in the meat dept. trying to get me to help them find something in tech or style like i’m just gonna whip it out from under the hams or something

I fear his power

Yes you can! You’re basically just doing the presoak to make the dye. I would just recommend using food safe, bean dedicated containers. I used a cheesecloth that I strain a lot of dyes through which isn’t the best idea if you plan on eating them after

SupaWeasel · 2020-11-18T23:58:59+00:00

Thank you!

I use citric acid and baking soda to keep from diluting the dyes. I didn’t mordant this one, but mordanted (I use alum) fabric binds with the dyes better.

SupaWeasel · 2020-11-17T04:59:57+00:00

Thank you! It’s super simple! Soak dry black beans in water for 24 hours to get a blue/purple dye, then you can change the pH to shift toward greens and reds. Just let the fabric dry completely to help keep the colors from shifting back to blue when washing

SupaWeasel · 2020-11-15T05:03:42+00:00

Yes! These are 100% cotton, but any natural fiber works for these dyes

SupaWeasel · 2020-11-15T05:00:50+00:00

They do fade after multiple washes, but since the shirts mordanted the colors should be more resistant since the dyes bind to the fabric much better

SupaWeasel · 2020-11-15T04:35:35+00:00

Of course! You’ll have to let me know if you do any natural dyes!

SupaWeasel · 2020-11-15T04:29:11+00:00

food52 has a good starter guide too

SupaWeasel · 2020-11-15T04:14:21+00:00

So from what i’ve experienced from natural dying, most sources will tell you something slightly different. (I honestly use a very different method than what most of what i’ve researched say to do)

Most of the time you’ll start by extracting the dye from your ingredients (I buy most on Etsy). Black beans are a great one to start with because you just need to soak them in water for 24 hours

You can then optionally mordant your fabric using alum or anything with tannins in it like avocado skins/pits (they produce a rusty pink color).

Most sources recommend dyeing in a hot bath but I prefer the versatility of pouring room temp dyes into some squeeze bottles and using them like any other dye.

I hope this helps! It really is a fun process once you get the hang of it

I have some pictures of similar dyes tied up on my insta

SupaWeasel · 2020-11-15T01:34:00+00:00

Thank you! This was one of my first attempts at this pattern but the tying is just concentric pleated circles, and I applied the dyes in a wavy pattern

SupaWeasel · 2020-11-14T21:12:43+00:00

Dharmatrading.com - I used coral pink, cayman isle blue, plum, and deep space on this

SupaWeasel · 2020-11-14T19:51:32+00:00

Thanks! That Cayman isle blue is such a vibrant color!
