Hello!

I just dyed my first pair of pants. My first anything really. Followed the instructions for the blue dye and it turned out better than I could have hoped! My $170 blue jeans I picked up for $10 look better now than they did new! Thank you so much for making this video!!

"That's part of the fun of *dying*, you never know how it's going to turn out". 🙃 Pretty dark, but that's why I like this channel. Getting my jeans all kinds of dark

Best demonstration I've seen on this subject. Thank you for showing us how you do it. I might have messed up my washing machine. Whew!

Excellent! Was about to toss my faded black jeans but now I will bring them back to life.

I know this is old but THANK YOU, I was looking everywhere for how to dye blue and could only find black until I came across this. Wish me luck :D

I just dyed 5 of my ancient Denims. Now they look brand new. Not only it get coloured the boiling in hot water makes them shrink too..earlier they were stretched out but now they fit so nicely...everyone thinks they are brand new denims.

For black denim be sure to double or triple the dye used.

thanks cutie for your best directions

The best and lovely

Thanks very much for your help

Jeans that were originally dark indigo blue, typically have the best results with black dye if you want to restore the original color.

Just use Dylon. It doesn't need hot water to activate because it's a fiber reactive dye, meaning that it bonds permanently to the cellulose in the cotton. It also doesn't fade over time like Rit does.

Thanks!

Faded blues just seem alright, but those faded black jeans just can't be worn without dying.

Excellent

I have a question. After i have done dyed the jeans and then when i want to wash the jeans in washing machine, can i 'spin' it also? Im afraid it could force the dye out

Wow okay. Ive always dyed my jeans in the washingmachine haha

All you need to do is run the washer once with no load in it and it’s fine, it’s a flippin washing machine, “ kind of it’s job folks”.

I have these American eagle jeggings that were once a dark green but have faded and discolored overtime now they look weird and pale lol I thought of trying to use green dye to make them darker again

wont the hot water then to cold shrink the denim?

Question. I bought a pair of jeans online. In the pic they looked light blue but actually they're like an auqua or greenish color. The jeans fit nicely so I want to keep them and I was thinking I'll just dye them. Question is, will blue dye hide the original color or should I use black?

@onlinefabricstore

5 жыл бұрын

Either would work. Blue dye will make them look more like regular blue jeans. Black dye will make them darker. It all depends on the look you are going for.

I have three pair of jeans to dye. Do I need a separate pot of dye for each pair, or can I dye all three in the same pot of dye?

@onlinefabricstore

4 жыл бұрын

If your pot is large enough for all three pairs to move around freely in the water you could do it at the same time. But its important that the jeans have plenty of room to move around, so you may want to do two rounds.

When using dylon black dye should I use a fixative? I'm afraid after a couple of washes the color will fade.

@onlinefabricstore

3 жыл бұрын

Dylon is permanent dye, and you do not need fixative.

If i use another color, like fuschia, to dye my jeans will they simply come out dark? I mean, do i have to use another dye to remove the color first?

You would not be able to dye jeans a lighter color. And unfortunately color remover does not work on indigo dye. You could always try, but I would be weary of it working.

Can I dye 2 different jeans separately but using the same dye? Or I’m would I need 2 different buckets and dye?

@onlinefabricstore

You can do them at the same time! just make sure that you have enough dye in your dye bath. 1 bottle = 2 lbs of fabric if you are using liquid dye. or 1 box = 1 lb. of fabric if you are using powder dye.

Hi, may I know what specific color you used for the Blue Jeans? I would like to dye my shirt with a dark shade of blue at the bottom all the the way at the middle of the shirt and half is light blue or white. Any suggestions on how to do it with the best result. Thanks!

Hi Dian, We used Rit Dye - Denim Blue # 36 Liquid: www.onlinefabricstore.net/rit-dye-denim-blue-no-36-liquid-.htm We have a video on how to ombre dip dye fabric, which is what you are describing. Instead of moving the fabric up and down a lot like in the ombre video, just move it less to get your desired effect. www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/how-to-dye-fabric-ombre-dip-dye-technique/

Thank you for this!! Quick question, did the black pair bleed the first couple of uses? Im Planning on using them with a white blouse! Ps. Im assuming the blue didn’t because of the second product you added but if im wrong please let me know!

I would say for jeans you are going to want two. You can use one, but your color will not be as saturated.

Will the dye also color the stitching threads because i want them to contrast with the color off the jeans

@onlinefabricstore

2 жыл бұрын

I see that you had asked this on another video, so I am going to copy that response here, best of luck with your project! I can't guarantee it would not, because it depends on the material the thread is made of. Usually thread is made from polyester, so the regular all purpose dye would not dye it. But if it is made of cotton it would. Sorry I can not add more clarity. Try it out in a spot that isn't so visible first before dying the whole garment.

@onlinefabricstore

It should, but is it acid washed? The acid washing will damage the fibers, and might make the dye not stick to certain parts (or stick to parts more than others) If it is just plain denim, you should be fine. But the acid washing could give you a funky look if that's what you're talking about.

i want to dye my jeans but i’m worried the levis patch at the back will completely black out!! any way to circumvent this?

Your best bet would be to remove the patch and sew it back in when you are done dying. Unfortunately, there would be no way to stop the dye from affecting the patch in the dye bath.

Question I get uneven color in knee area, I did a second try still the same uneven section what could be the cause of this?

@sunshinesmiles5386

Жыл бұрын

If your white threads in the denim fabric are polyester, they probably won't take to the dye as well. Many people wear their knees out faster than the rest of the pants, meaning more white threads are exposed --> uneven coloring.

If we want to convert light blue jeans into medium blue than what will be the quantity of the dye?

You can dilute the dye as much as you would like! Dying is an experiment and there are definitely ways to get the most consistent results but you can reduce the amount of dye that you use to get the results you are looking for!

This video is demonstrating how to dye jeans with 2 different kinds of dye, Rit and Dylon. The color doesn't matter, you can use blue, black, or any other color with either dye. You use the fixative with Rit (blue in this video) and not with Dylon because it already has the fixative in it. One dye isn't better than the other.
