Fiber Reactive Dye: NO SEW jeans rework

Follow along with this demo to over-dye old jeans or other clothes to make them fresh for reworking. The dye bath we make up for this class can be used for shibori, tie dye, and ombre and is the standard for any situation where you want a uniform even dye. We use fiber reactive dye with plant based fibers like cotton, hemp, rayon, bamboo. No heat is needed for long lasting vibrant results so this is a great dye for outdoor dye parties.
