Redemption!

You very well may remember that failed dye bath of mine. 

While I didn't get the results I wanted, I did get some mighty fine denim blue lace. 

I'm quite proud of this color, and I have never been a wasteful Wendy. 

So I decided to change my origanal plan for a silk and lace nightgown and instead make a lace and jersy Mallory Lane.

I'm quite proud of the way it turned out! 

Construction was a breeze. The only thing that gave me trouble was the wiggly FOE I was working with. But more detailed on that are on their way next...

Along with the Mallory lane I also constructed a lacy thong and some lace breifs. 

I used Fehr Trade's pattern and my own self drafted pantie pattern. 

I did edit the thong pattern a smidge to my friends measurements. I'm hoping now that I didn't make the crotch covering bit too long...

High waisted thong? Is that a thing? 

I'm sure it's a thing. 

At the very least it's a thing now, because I have one sitting on my coffee table! 

My Dye Bath Blunder

I desperately wanted a pastel grayish blue nightgown and pantie set. 

I had my rit, I had my various fabrics and my pot. I thought I was ready. 

I had nylon and spandex lace 

FOE from my usual place. 

And some silky polyester. 

I put it in my pot and boiled it with a minimal amount of supervision. 

My stretch lace responded swimmingly to the dye, it turned the color of denim jeans right way. 

And I must say it held the color beautifully 

The satin and the FOE however reacted in a strange way....

They turned lavender or lilac. 

I'm sure I'll get use out of the foe, but I'm not quite sure about the satin. I just have two fourth yard bits. 

My original plan wound have used all three together just fine. But now they clash...so I suppose I'll have to find a new plan. 

Until then, stay savvy friends.
