Buenos dĆas! Hoy os traigo un nuevo DIY que me tiene emocionada. Llevaba aƱos con la idea en la cabeza de teƱir tejidos, pero no me atrevĆa. Incluso he presenciado cĆ³mo tiƱen las telas en la India, asistĆ a varias exposiciones sobre Ikat en Washington que podĆ©is recordar AQUĆ, y tengo algĆŗn libro en casa explicando muy a fondo todas las alternativas para dar color a cualquier tela. ComprĆ© hace un par de aƱos un tinte azul, en algĆŗn subidĆ³n de inspiraciĆ³n, pero no sabĆa muy bien quĆ© hacer con Ć©l. Por un lado me daba un poco de miedo destrozar alguna tela, y por el otro no tenĆa una idea clara de quĆ© hacer con la tela una vez la tuviese teƱida. Con este tipo de estampados corres el riesgo de hacer una camiseta de colorines y parecer una hippie en los 70 o una niƱa en un campamento de verano creativo...
Good morning! Today I'm really excited about the DIY I'm sharing. I had wanted to dye fabrics for the longest time, but for some reason I wouldn't dare. Even after seeing how they dye fabrics in India and having attended several Ikat exhibitions in DC, which you can check HERE, I also have a pretty detailed book at home with all kind of techniques to change the color of any fabric... I purchased some blue dye a couple of years ago, but I never knew what to do with it. In part cause I was scared to ruin the fabric, and in part cause I wasn't sure what to do with the fabric once it was dyed. These kind of prints are really tricky and you can end up looking like a hippie in the 70's or like you just came back form a creativity Summer camp...
This Summer I fell in love with a Dior dress with a degrade in all colors of the rainbow, and I thought about trying, but I realized dying something in different colors was overambitious, since I had not dye a thing in my life. And suddenly, I saw lots of influencers on instagram wearing a tie dye Dior skirt, so I decided it was the perfect project to try!
AquĆ os dejo el video con todo el proceso (que probablemente sea el mĆ”s caĆ³tico hasta la fecha), y si os gustan este tipo de videos, no olvidĆ©is suscribiros a mi canal de Youtube!

It's been an experimental process where I had no idea about the final result, but I'm quite happy with the outcome and I have already worn the skirt a couple of times! Let me know what you think!
