JEAN UPCYCLING WITH INDIGO- DYEING MY STAINED JEANS DARK WASH

By letter2self on February 11, 2023



Welcome to jean upcycling with indigo. I’m dyeing my stained jeans dark wash, this is how to make your jeans last longer for a more sustainable wardrobe. These jeans got grass stained and I’ve decided to dip them into the left over indigo vat from one of my online workshops. I punched up the indigo vat with some more chemicals. Then I dipped these jeans twice and let them rest in between. I washed them with synthrapol and hot water and dried on hot. Blog for more information:
