Ok so I know a bunch of people who went to this outdoor camping thing during summer and came back with tye dye shirts that they made there! That's awesome, I made one for the first time at home and they turned out wicked! check out the pic... But I usually go to a local burning man type event here in August, it's outside away from everything really! The saturday they have a bunch of workshops and just small course things that people put on for others.. I want to do a little tye dying workshop, there's usually families with kids there, so it would be cool to have a tye dying workshop for them to take part in and take a cool tye dye shirt home! But there's the one step where you almsot NEED a washing machine to complete it.. Do anyone have any suggestions to make it possible to fully do the project outside without a washing machine? It's usually hot hot warm days outside when the festival happens, easy to dry clothes. So figure I could use that somehow, but I ain't going to be anywhere near washing machine! I figure i could get it to a certain point then they take it home and wash it once but that wouldn't be as good! Thxx just getting ready for Summer and the fun it brings
I suppose you could try this way. When I was in elementary school we did it old school, out on the lawn. We tied them off with rubber bands, dipped them, hung them to dry, and took them home. I chose brown so it wasn't very colorful but it lasted.
We used to have a thing called a pressure wash.It's basically a metal barrel that you turn and it washes your clothes.It did a pretty good job and it requires no electricity.I don't know if they're still made.You could try an internet search I guess.
The synthropol step, nu? A soak with hand agitation or a never used plunger will mimic the washer well enough for a class. Those dyes will bleed more than ones that go through a washer, typically. I know I'm very late to this party. But it's never too late to dye!
Back in my day, to dry clothes, we simply hung them from a rope Bucket full of water and a big stick to slosh around to clean, then up on rope or fishing line. that's the cowgirl way I was taught when camping out.
Drying isn't the issue, Irm. Agitation of washing is really, really helpful with washing away the excess dye, especially to keep it off the areas bound to stay white.
ive only had a couple tye shirts my whole life. really dont like them all that much .. sometimes get a blue cloud type, but cant do that all color the rainbows stuff..
