Remember when I had that tutorial on natural garment dyes? (since even I’m struggling through the recesses of my very cluttered brain, here’s a link to refresh your memories: Dye Job, Au Naturale). Well, boil me and call me lilac, because here’s my process from start to finish for creating the newly listed “It Girl Tunic” in the Anjou Etsy Shop!
The Process: Natural lavender dye from red cabbage
Voila! Ici! Clara Bow’s iconic profile hand painted on an Anjou designed and constructed (and meticulously hand-dyed) lilac 100% silk crêpe de chine tunic (click on pic to link to the shop).
