DIY Kind of Day

Monday was a DIY kind of day. First, I did three different dye baths: tan, grey, and hunter green. This -----> is my tan dye job. Did you know that if you dye things one at a time in the same dye bath, the color changes? For example, when I used the grey dye bath, I first dyed a slip and then a cami. They both started as the same color and fabric. But the slip was so much darker than the cami. It was a steel grey and the cami was a pale green grey. The same thing happened with my tan and green baths too. It's like each item you dye uses up the dye in the water, leaving just the liquid behind.

Anway, since I spent all day dyeing clothes and sewing, I looked like a bum, so no photos. I did stay fully on track foodwise, though. So I'll post those. I need some reinforcement to keep me motivated.

What I Ate While Dyeing Everything I Own:
