It's not exactly reconstructed, but I really wanted a pair of brown jeans, but my budget didn't allow for it... so last night I was kickin' around the apartment & had an "aha" moment... hey.. I've got this bottle of brown RIT.. what the heck? So I took those two pair of light blue jeans.. you know.. the colour the What Not to Wear crew rolls their eyes at & plunked em in the dyepot.
The jeans aren't dry yet, but I'm really happy with them.. right down to where the dye didn't take over old paint & a couple of mystery areas... now all I need to do is wait for them to dry & them run them through the washer.
wee! :)

Re: When ya can't buy, dye.
Tue, February 26, 2008 - 2:13 PMYeah, I bleached a pair of jeans white and that was cool until an hour later at a party they disintegrated. I used less bleach on the next pair and dyed them red and they came out cool, then I made a blue and orange pair that was fun too. -
