I am an amateur at tie-dye! I used easy-to-purchase and easy-to-use dyes for that reason.

All shirts were pre-washed with a free & clear detergent and were damp when they were tied and dyed. Tulip instructions recommend a 6-8 hour dye time, but a rabbit hole of tie-dye info later and I left in a closed zip bag for 24 hours each. It’s hard to argue with the results! Each shirt was hand rinsed until the water was clear and then washed alone twice with detergent, each time with an extra rinse. The zip bags were also washed and dried for reuse for future craft projects.

If you’re looking to make your own tie-dye, I found great inspiration from the following channels:

TTMT #794 – Surprise Charity Quilt Finish!

Join me this week as I share a surprise quilt finish! I’ve been trying to use my pre-trip jitters for good and managed to finish a quilt and several small projects. Most of the orphan blocks in this quilt came from Sarah in Houston with a couple from Kristel. It will be going to Project Linus Albuquerque, NM via my bff Jewells!

Supplies I used for my custom thread boxes (affiliate links)

  • Bird Feeders with Cameras on Amazon (affiliate link) – Please note that there are LOTS of bird feeders with cameras out there, and even some that have a spot for the camera of your choice. What works for me may not work for you, so I won’t recommend a particular camera. If you’d like a setup like this, go for what you think would work best for you. Happy birding!

TTMT #734 – Going Green

This week finds me with ACTUAL show & tell! I have one big DIY project and some sewing to share.

Wonder why I’m still in Texas or what the moving/not-moving talk is about? I made a video about it a few weeks ago.

I also had some Cricut show & tell that I completely forgot about it. Here’s a photo…

Thank you to my Ko-Fi supporters. I apologize for not mentioning you lovely people in my video. My fella’s heart procedure is later this week and I’m a bit all over the place right now. ♥
