Remember my fort? After cleaning and admiring those lace beauties for weeks, the time has come to liberate them from their monocromatic existance.  Most of the table cloths and curtains were made out of polyester, which can be rather hard to dye. Lucky for idye poly, which has worked like a charm every time I use it.  The only down side is that instead of pouring some hot water into a bucket and stirring it out on your back porch ( like I can do when I dye natural fabrics ), you must cook the fabric on the stove for an hour.  Which requires a rather large pot…

Being the impatient little beast I am, I went right ahead and used our stock pot to cook up the lace.  I could only fit one curtain at a time, and the pot suffered some cosmetic damage…

So the next day I went straight to the thrift store, and for $9 I picked up this big mama.  Look at how gigantic this baby is!  She is a lovely speckled black, and I don’t care if she turns into a rainbow delight with all the dying I’m planning.  All the lace is looking delicious, keep your eyes open for the upcoming treasures they become!

I left the middle lace in the black dye for only 10 minutes, and it turned into a lovely blue-grey. I’m in love!
