Overdye Results

Perhaps you noticed that there was no recession challenge issued for April. I needed a little break, and wanted to have a video ready to go with the next challenge, so I unofficially decided to skip a month. But that meant that I inadvertently also delayed the publication of the March results!

Without further ado, here is a summary of the March Recession Challenge results.

Stephanie N did the assignment, plus extra credit. She dyed a pale mauve jacket to a striking rust shade. She also freshened up two identical shirts by overdying each a different color with fascinating results.

But that wasn’t enough, then Stephanie N overdyed a pair of trousers, too!

Carla used Evening Blue dye to transform formerly bland beige jacket and shorts.

I used black dye on a pair of jeans, but got blue-black results, thanks to a high percentage of ramie in the fabric blend.

I believe a few other readers (Evanadine? Deborah-Lee?) also participated, but haven’t sent in any photos or links yet. If you’d like to leave a link to your project in the comments, please feel free.

Thank you for participating and stay tuned for a continuation of the Recession Challenge series in May.
