      does the dye come off significantly in the wash or is it just like normal washing? I suppose if it were that big of a deal i would just hand wash it separately but i have never dyed any garment so i thought id inquire

    • @YarnAndy
      @YarnAndy 3 роки тому +3

      @@whiskerbiscuit6209 it depends on the dye, the base and the process. If you don't keep the item under heat for long enough, the dye might run. Ideally you should keep the item under heat between 20-40 minutes to make sure it sets. If we're talking about acid dyes, that is, like the one in this video, with the wool. Other dyes have other requirements. But dark colors will always run, unless on a synthetic base (which you can't realistically dye at home anyway).

    Walking foot - yes. Baste - yes. Also, greatly reduce the pressure on your presser foot and use a lot of pins on an angle instead of straight across the sewing line. Hold the fabric taut at the front and back of the machine as it feeds under the foot. Some have success with sulky temporary spray adhesive, but be careful of overspray. I've tried using tissue paper sandwiched in between layers and in between the velvet and the machine - a trick I learned when sewing vinyl; the paper becomes perforated by the stitches and tears away after sewing . Change needles often, and doubly often if the velvet is real silk, and keep a vacuum handy close by, ready to pull out some of the loose pile lint from the machine as you sew, as that stuff gums up the works very, very quickly.

    velvet - yes to basting and walking foot - and also know how to lower the pressure on your pressure foot. It helps. All of the projects came out well - and even if I liked the red sweater - you'll wear it more now, and isn't that the point of having clothes? it's easy to get a low shank walking foot and other things for your cute little 99k.

    Well I love the dye job, it makes that dress perfect on you. I didn't much care for the original version, but once it was dyed it became, yes I am saying it again, perfect. The same goes for the skirt, looks much better after the color change. I prefer darker colors too, so yeah, looks great. Now the red sweater was great but it should be all about what makes you happy and dyeing it has obviously done that for you, so cheers!

    10 out of 10 for all your redo garments. I am a fiber dyer and I am here to tell you that black is a difficult color to achieve. Often it is blotchy, or brownish, or breaks, or greyish...you did good! 😉 I was cringing at the Rit as you described what you had in mind, because it often dulls the item. I think that dulling effect is exactly what that dress needed. Angling that sleeve lifted your bust and narrowed your waist. I think we forget about how little tweaks can make such a huge difference. 🌈🌈🦋🦋

    Ok, you have unlocked such a persistent problem for me! I have never quite been able to figure out why a mid-upper arm sleeve feels weirdly unflattering...it's because that's also the widest part of my bust! I do tend to prefer clothing with sleeves, but I think I need to search for either a shorter OR longer sleeve, not mid-upper arm. Two minutes into this video and already the epiphanies are coming through. Thank you!

    Oh, excellent job, dear! {sneaks in, yoinks lovely red sweater and leaves plain black sweater in its place -- shhh, she'll never notice} The black velvet came out extraordinarily fetching! Vampy in a ne'er do well sort of way. And the sleeves of the first -- who could guess that such a small thing could make all the difference. Hurrah! Stay warm.

    I LOVE how the velvet dress came out. It looked sort of early 90s in your first thrift flip, but in the second re-do? 50s PERFECTION.

    I learned a lot from this. Your description of why the first dress didn't work and why the remake of it does work was enlightening, and I will be making use of this info. Sometimes it is hard to analyze why something you bought and liked does not work on your body the way you wanted it to, and your explanation makes perfect sense. Also changing the color is a good fix for those pieces that you really like, or spent a bunch of money on, and would like to keep. If the cost of a box of dye can make it work, that's wonderful. We all want that perfect wardrobe made of pieces that we love, and these ideas go a long way to helping you get that.
